AIA Houston and Architecture Center Houston Foundation award $13,250 in scholarships annually to local area high school students who compete in the Michael G Meyers Competition. 

In 2019, we were proud to announce that our scholarship program was funded in part by a grant from AIA National.

Eligibility

All Houston area high school students are eligible to participate regardless of class affiliation or age. Entrants are requested to enter only once per year as a member of a team or as an individual. Teachers and Counselors are encouraged to promote this scholarship competition with an emphasis on creative problem solving and graphic presentation.
