Many of
you are aware that Lawrence Technological University (LTU) has offered
scholarships to the top high school students who are accepted into their accredited
architecture program. They are gracious enough to offer the same renewable
scholarships this year to select students. This year we are excited to announce
that a second accredited architectural school is going to offer scholarships to
the top high school students who are accepted into their accredited architecture
program; University of Detroit Mercy (UDM).
If a
student is interested in becoming a licensed Architect, then I would highly
suggest visiting these two colleges along with other accredited architecture
schools you may be interested in. Every architecture program is different; each
one offers a blend of different focuses such as urban design, construction,
materials, historical, theoretical, sustainability, organic, artistic,
technology and many of avenues of architecture. Both schools are within a 90
minute drive from Toledo in the Detroit area and always willing to show potential students around their
small campuses and state of the art architectural facilities. When visiting,
talk to current architecture students (they are always there,) look at the projects
on display and peek into the studios to get a feeling of what the next 5 years
minimum will be like if you venture into the architectural career. You can also
talk to any HSDC committee members or the AIA advisor to find out what their
college experience was like. Both of these schools and many others will be present at the award banquet in April.
Again, thank
you LTU and UDM for your awesome contributions to improve the HSDC and provide
opportunities for local visionaries into the architectural profession.
