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. See the program for LTU scholarship amounts. 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.
