Are you a LAUSD student who loves architecture and would like to attend SCI-Arc free of charge starting in the fall of 2017? Well, you're in luck: if you apply online by January 15, 2017, you'll be in the running for the recently announced merit-based, full-tuition scholarship for first-year freshmen originating from the metropolitan school district which, if you stay in the top 10% of your class, could last all five collegiate years.

As SCI-Arc director Hernan Diaz Alonso sees it, “SCI-Arc is embedded in the fabric of Los Angeles. With this scholarship we are reaffirming our relationship to the city’s public education system. We are proud of our well-rounded and rigorous Undergraduate program. A Bachelor of Architecture from SCI-Arc provides a creative way to see the world not only in architectural terms, but in sociological, political and economic terms as well.”

SCI-Arc EDGE launches four new scholarships

2016-11-11T14:03:00-05:00

Almost exactly a year ago, the Southern California Institute of Architecture (SCI-Arc) launched SCI-Arc EDGE, Center for Advanced Studies in Architecture, a postgraduate degree program. Now, the school has just announced the launch of four new scholarships for the program, amounting to the full tuition. The scholarships will be awarded to applicants based on merit. A scholarship will be available for each program: Master of Science in Architectural Technologies, Master of Science in the Design of Cities, Master of Arts in Fiction and Entertainment, and Master of Science in Design Theory and Pedagogy.

“I’m extremely proud to announce these new scholarships,” said David Ruy, Chair of Postgraduate Programs. “It represents SCI-Arc EDGE’s complete commitment to forward-thinking scholarship and research during what has now become clear as an uncertain moment in history.”

The deadline for applications is January 15, 2017.

On the cusp of SCI-Arc’s first semester implementing its new EDGE Center for Advanced Studies in Architecture program, Director Hernan Diaz Alonso has named David Ruy as chair.

SCI-Arc first announced it was launching EDGE in November of last year, offering “four graduate degree programs in fields including architectural technologies, fiction and entertainment, design of cities, and design theory and pedagogy”. Respectively, those translate into an MS in Architectural Technologies (Marcelo Spina), an MS in the Design of Cities (Peter Trummer), an MA in Fiction and Entertainment (Liam Young), and a MS in Design Theory and Pedagogy (David Ruy). The first two degrees are based on preexisting SCI-Arc programs, while the second two are new.

The earlier press released issued by SCI-Arc on November 10 of 2015 named Ruy as EDGE's Chair, but this was later changed to only refer to Ruy as leading the MS in Design Theory and Pedagogy. Commenting on this update on November 11, user ARP1 asked ...
