Martin Roche Travel ScholarshipEstablished in 1926, the AIA Chicago Foundation Martin Roche Travel Scholarship provides a Chicago architecture student with a $5000 grant to complete a self-designed overseas independent study of a relevant architectural subject. Architecture students enrolled at IIT, UIC, and SAIC are eligible to apply. The successful applicant's proposed independent study will include the production of a finished work product, in the form of a report, article, presentation, film, or other communications medium. Past awards have been granted to students who studied topics ranging from the transformation of brownfield sites in Germany; the relationship between design and crime in Medellin, South America; and modernist religious architecture in Italy. The recipient of the Martin Roche Travel Scholarship is selected by the AIA Chicago board of directors. Selection is based on individual merit as evidenced by strength and relevance of independent study plan, faculty recommendation, academic background, personal and professional achievement, and general indication of future promise in the profession. The AIA Chicago Foundation reserves the right to interview any applicants before making a final decision, divide the scholarship if multiple applicants are selected, or to not make an award. Please note the award is intended for self-designed independent study itineraries and is not to be used for credit-earning activities sponsored by educational institutions or other organizations. Independent study proposals for activities that earn academic credit are not eligible for consideration and will not be reviewed by the selection committee. Submissions for the Martin Roche Travel Scholarship are accepted from February 13, 2013 to April 12, 2013.
