About FXCollaborative

Collaboration is at the heart of the design process, strengthened and enriched by the contributions of those who bring diverse experiences and views. The texture of varying beliefs, values, and backgrounds informs how we see the world, and is at the very core of our ability to serve our clients and community.

We strive to incorporate justice, inclusion, diversity, and equity initiatives and a feeling of belonging within all facets of our practice.

 

Eligibility

Two scholarships are being offered to undergraduate students currently enrolled at CCNY/Spitzer School of Architecture. Students of all racial and ethnic backgrounds are eligible, but a preference will be given to BIPOC students. The mission is to help support and mentor students, providing them with the opportunity to pursue a successful career in architecture while advancing the architecture/engineering/construction (AEC) industry and improving the world we live in.
