NOMA ARE Scholarship
In partnership with the AIA, the goal of the NOMA Architect Registration Examination® (ARE®) Scholarship is to recognize NOMA’s Associates and Emerging Professionals and provide financial assistance for them to complete their architectural licensure examinations. Awards are not based on financial need; they will be merit based on significant early career contributions the individual has made to the profession and the community. Applicants for this grant must be paid NOMA members by February 1st of the year they apply for the scholarship. Members that work for architectural firms that reimburse for the cost of professional examinations are not eligible for scholarship consideration.
The deadline for application submission is Monday, September 30th, 11:59 PM EST
CIDQ DEI Scholarship
CIDQ believes that the practice of interior design, a discipline that places people’s health, safety, and welfare at its very core, is elevated when a broad array of voices, perspectives, and sensibilities are fully represented. We are committed to reducing barriers and increasing access to career opportunities to further the advancement of historically underrepresented minorities and underserved communities within the field. We encourage members of diverse backgrounds to apply for the CIDQ DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion) Scholarship.
Eligibility: To be eligible, the applicant must be from a historically underrepresented group; and MUST HAVE an approved NCIDQ Exam application at time of scholarship application submission.
The deadline for application submission is Thursday, October 31st, 11:59 PM EST
Black Spectacles and NOMA Partnership
Black Spectacles and NOMA have partnered to provide a NOMA member benefit of discounted study resources, empowering underrepresented architects to advance in their careers.
The 2030 Challenge aims to double the number of licensed African American architects by 2030.
Through this partnership, available to all NOMA members, we aim to achieve the 2030 Challenge and help increase the number of licensed architects within NOMA’s membership.
