SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM

By preparing the next generation of design-builders, we're building not just projects, but futures - designing not just better ways to work, but better networks. 

​

That is why the DBIA Southwest Region is thrilled to announce the start of our 2024 scholarship program. These scholarships will provide competitive awards to undergraduates pursuing a program related to architecture, engineering, or construction at an accredited university/college in the Southwest Region; faculty members of an accredited architecture, engineering, or construction program in the Southwest Region; and young professionals in the Southwest Region seeking design-build certification through DBIA.

​

These scholarships are awarded by the DBIA Southwest Region's Executive Committee and are made possible by the organization's fundraising efforts and the generous support of our Premier Partners.

​

Applications for the 2024 scholarship program closed on June 30, 2024, and winners were announced in August.

​

The 2025 scholarship program will open in March, 2025.
