Is anyone familiar with any fellowships/grants that are geared toward young architect, 2-3 years out of school? It seems that most that I can find are for students. All help is appreciated
It's probably true that most grants are for students rather than working people, since the latter presumably have an income. But I have heard of grants for research and professional development...I just can't remember any details.
I'd check with your local AIA office, as well as the website of the Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture (ACSA).
Michigan has three one-year fellowships intended for young architects and designers. see url=http://www.tcaup.umich.edu/fellowships]link[/url for information, deadlines, pdf poster and past recipients. (who have, among many others, included luke bulman, yung ho chang, adam yarinksly, and lise anne couture - many familiar names now, but not neccessarily at the time....)
Fulbright Scholarship - the student category applies to those who have been out of school for a while (perhaps there is an age limit of 35...or maybe i made that up.) The website has stats from previous years indicating how many applicants vs. how many scholarships offered by country.
This is open to not just architects, but doctors, teachers, social scientists, writers, ANYONE. So your competing with some amazing people around the US. For better odds, pick a country that has low ratio of applicants/grants. www.iie.org
Rome Prize for the American Academy in Rome
Loeb Fellowship from Harvard
There are others. ArchVoices is a good place to check.
I'm disappointed that the deadline for the 2005-2006 year has already passed. I'm graduating in May 2005 and was planning on looking into a Fulbright that would take me overseas somewhere. Although I'd prefer Europe, I'm open to almost anywhere. I guess I dropped the ball on this one. I really need to finish my thesis before I can start looking seriously into other options. Thanks for the info grace kim.
Brian's point is a good but painful reminder: if one's interested in grants, start early. A year ahead of the date you hope to get the first check is not too soon.
Wow. 2004? I'm resurrecting this post to ask if anyone has any advice on the UMich/Taubman application process. They say they want a cover letter, portfolio/CV, and references, but I assume they'll appreciate some kind of proposal for research/studios/workshops.
Is anyone here a former recipient of that, or a similar fellowship?

Archvoices has a section for fellowships/grants.
I believe that the New York AIA has a few that are aimed at young architects, as is the BSA's traveling scholarship (can't remember the name of it).
