About This Opportunity

This scholarship is designed for students who have been awarded a Loan-Scholarship by The Fundación para el Futuro de Colombia (COLFUTURO). The COLFUTURO program awards up to $50,000 USD over two years to fund graduate studies in architecture. SCI-Arc provides a matching scholarship for the selected student, effectively doubling the award. This opportunity is specifically for students pursuing the M.Arch 2 program at the Southern California Institute of Architecture. The scholarship supports Colombian students seeking advanced architectural education in the United States. Applicants must first receive COLFUTURO funding, then apply separately to SCI-Arc's matching scholarship program by submitting a complete application package including portfolio, transcripts, and letters of recommendation. Recipients must maintain a 3.7 GPA to continue receiving the scholarship in their second year.
