Contemporary education is changing rapidly and is evolving in response to the changing demands of society and technology development.

The Center for Architecture is currently accepting applications for the Stewardson Keefe LeBrun Travel Grant! Proposed travel plans should demonstrate a focused course of study engaging the applicant’s interests and concerns and occur outside of the academy.

The scholarship focus is less on academic projects than on self-directed education.
