Syracuse School of Architecture
Syracuse University is always interested in gifted students and believes that the school of architecture should represent the full range of talent that exists in our country. Syracuse University has scholarships up to the amount of full tuition for the five-year professional undergraduate degree. About 80 percent of all admitted students receive financial aid, which comes in the form of scholarships, grants, loans, and work-study opportunities.
Scholarships are awarded to United States students with the greatest potential based on their application and their portfolio submission, (see below for guidelines).
