WAF Dream Spaces: Diversity + Architecture Scholarship

This scholarship is for both undergraduate and graduate students entering UWM and are a Wisconsin resident (for tuition purposes). The awarding scholar will be provided a professional mentor through the Wisconsin Architects Foundation (WAF) to support successful academic outcomes. Financial need may be considered but is not required.

Financial and academic support is offered for up to eight semesters for an incoming freshman; six semesters for an incoming transfer student into the BSAS degree program; four-six semesters for an incoming graduate student (depending upon enrollment in the 2 or 3-year program).

Wisconsin Architects Foundation established this scholarship with the goal of increasing the presence of individuals from under-represented population groups in the architect profession in Wisconsin. This scholarship is renewable based on maintaining full-time status and academic performance (a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher is required every semester).
