How does this work?

The Rotch Travelling Studio is an annual foreign-travel grant that provides up to $20,000 toward enhancing students’ architectural education.

Grant proposals are invited from faculty members in all U.S. NAAB-accredited schools of architecture for travel anywhere in the world during the following calendar year. Studios are to be directed by the faculty applicant and are intended to supplement a specific design studio at the school. The faculty applicant’s architecture department will be the grant recipient and is responsible for dispersing funds and monitoring the studio’s performance.
