Harrison Goodall Preservation Fellowship

Application Deadline: May 29

The National Park Service, in partnership with Preservation Maryland, is pleased to announce the Harrison Goodall Preservation Fellowship to promote innovation and professional growth in the field of historic preservation. The fellowship is a short-term opportunity to pursue a unique self-directed project under the guidance of a mentor. Fellows will receive recognition for a distinguished achievement while creating original preservation training content, performing research, or enhancing leadership and management skills.

TARGET AUDIENCE

This opportunity is aimed at both emerging and seasoned preservation professionals and graduate students enrolled at least part-time in a preservation-related degree program (historic preservation, museum studies, history, archaeology, urban planning, architecture, preservation trades, etc.). Applications will be accepted from federal and non-federal applicants.

FELLOWSHIP EXPERIENCE

Once accepted, fellows will be paired with (or continue working with) a mentor appropriate to their field of study. Fellows will develop a plan with their mentors which establishes a timeline for deliverables, a broad outline of their final deliverables, and expectations for collaboration and communication. Fellows will also establish the period of residency (up to two weeks) when they plan to travel to an appropriate location to either work with their mentor or complete fieldwork for their project (subject to change based on current national, regional and local public health guidance). Every fellowship will result in a different deliverable which will be due by August of their fellowship year.

FELLOWSHIP AWARD

Candidates are admitted as fellows for a year (August to August). The program will provide a $5,000 award. Additional support may be provided on a as-needed basis to assure completion of the two-week residency.

2020 Diversity Advancement Scholarship

Diversity Advancement Scholarship

This architecture scholarship can change your life!

Maybe you chose architecture because you want to design a better world. Or you can’t imagine doing anything else. One thing’s for certain: You love this work. And we’d love to help fund your college experience with a multiyear scholarship, up to $20,000.

We created the Diversity Advancement Scholarship to help more minority students pursue a successful career in architecture. Multiple scholarships are available.

---

$20,000 scholarship

We’re looking for minority students whose imagination and design thinking will influence the future of the built environment and the architecture profession. Eligible students must be a US citizen, have a minimum 3.0 GPA, and be:

• a high school student planning to enroll in a NAAB-accredited architecture degree
 program;
• a rising second-year college student in a NAAB-accredited architecture degree program; or,
• a technical school or community college student who has completed high school or its equivalent and intends to transfer to a NAAB-accredited architecture program.

NAAB-accredited degree programs may be a five-year Bachelor of Architecture degree, or a four-year pre-professional bachelor degree followed by a Master of Architecture degree. Scholarships may be renewed for up to 5 years (up to a $20,000 total award—multiple scholarships are available).

The Diversity Advancement Scholarship was created in 1970 with an initial grant from the Ford Foundation, after civil rights leader Whitney Young Jr. challenged architects in 1968 to create a more responsible and equitable field.
