PREPARING OUR LEADERS WHO TRANSFORM OUR PROFESSION
The Hawaii Architectural Foundation believes in supporting students and helping them to achieve their goals of graduating with an Architectural Degree. Since 2013, the Foundation has given out over $30,000 to support architectural students in our state. This support comes in different forms, listed below. Typically, awards range from $1,000-$3,000.
