The Architectural Education Foundation was created by five devoted AIA Colorado members in 1934 to “advance the interest of the profession of architecture in the State of Colorado.”
This special fund was established by Robert Fuller, FAIA, William E. Fisher, FAIA, George H. Williamson, FAIA, William Bowman, AIA and Fred Montjoy, AIA. Their vision for the Architectural Education Foundation was to create a fund that would award scholarships, grants and prizes to advance the profession. On December 18, 1944, the Trust Fund was transferred to AIA Colorado. Robert K. Fuller was designated its Permanent Trustee. On February 16, 1961, the Fund was incorporated as a separate, tax free, nonprofit corporation.
Since the first $600 scholarship was presented in 1961, the Architectural Education Foundation has awarded more than $800,000 in scholarships, grants, and other awards to more than 250 students, architects, and teachers.
Over the past 40 years, architects, faculty members, and students alike have returned to school for study or have had a research project funded because they received assistance through the Architectural Education Foundation.
