Recognizing EXCELLENCE of final-year graduate students in architecture and engineering

The Thomas F. Ellerbe Scholarship was endowed in 1981 by the Ellerbe firm in honor of Thomas F. Ellerbe, FAIA. This fund annually awards two or more $1,000 to $3,000 scholarships to exemplary architectural and engineering students in the final year of their master’s program.

Ellerbe Fund scholarships are enhanced by the AIA Component Matching Scholarship Grant program.
