Steve Ashton Scholarship

The Steve Ashton Scholarship is offered to architects pursuing business and management education at RMIT University. This scholarship is made possible by a generous donation from the Ashton-Nixon Bequest, in memory of Stephen Ashton AM, who founded ARM Architecture and believed that business education played an important role in architectural practice success. The scholarship aims to provide financial support for architects to obtain professional training in business, leadership, or other skills that will enable their practice to develop and thrive. Applications are judged on merit based on professional achievements, demonstration of initiative including establishing one's own practice, and contribution to the profession through volunteer work and leadership potential. The scholarship provides substantial financial support ranging from $10,000 to $30,000 per annum depending on the program level and enrollment status.
