The Bronx Chapter of the American Institute of Architects (AIA) represents architects who practice  and/or live within The Bronx County of New York City. The Chapter was founded in 1945 to promote  the profession, the objectives of the American Institute of Architects, and architecture within the  Borough of the Bronx.

The Bronx AIA seeks to identify and empower students pursuing architecture, but who may be  struggling financially to make their educational dreams a reality. As such, the 2022 Bronx  AIA Empowerment scholarship was founded to award two (2) undergraduate architecture students selected by the City College of New York (CCNY).

• Be a resident of The Bronx, NY.
• Display a GPA of 3.0 or higher.

Include your full contact information in the letter: home address, email, phone  number.
