How it works

The fellowship is formatted in a “gap year” time frame.  The fellow may choose a start date between May and August. The fellowship concludes 12 months from start date.  The fellowship is open to those who will receive an undergraduate degree in the year in which they apply.

Applications are accepted from students with undergraduate degrees from the University of Michigan or one of the accredited architectural institutions in the following countries: Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden. 

Applicants must intend to pursue a graduate degree and demonstrate an interest in architecture.
