The Wisconsin Architects Foundation offers scholarships to outstanding Wisconsin students.

The student must have received his/her high school diploma from a Wisconsin high school.
The student must be currently attending or planning to attend a NAAB-accredited school of architecture within a First Professional Degree or Post-graduate degree program.

As a part of the application process, you will need to submit the required documents.
The first document is the completed application form, as well as a demonstration of graduation from a Wisconsin high school which can be a copy of diploma or equivalent
Furthermore, you are supposed to provide a copy of the most current transcript (GPA) and board scores (SAT, GRE or similar) and one Letter of Recommendation from a teacher.
