In 2011 one travelling scholarship of £6,000 will be awarded to one student chosen from over 100 schools of architecture worldwide with RIBA-validated courses. Deadline for submitting applications is 1 March 2011.
First established in 2006, the scholarship is now in its fifth year and is intended to fund international research on a topic related to the survival of our towns and cities, in a location of the student’s choice. Past RIBA Norman Foster Scholars travelled through the Americas, Europe, Africa, South East Asia, the Middle and the Far East, and Russia. Proposals for research might include: learning from the past to inform the future; the future of society; the density of settlements; sustainability; the use of resources; the quality of urban life; and transport.
The deadline for submissions is Tuesday, March 1, 2011. Further details and an application form can be downloaded from the RIBA website.
