TEAM Architects Scholarship applications open
Last updated:
29 May 2023
Applications are now open for the TEAM Architects Scholarship awards. This is the 20th anniversary of our scholarship programme, and we are very excited to have a fourth accredited architecture school, AUT, in the application mix this year.
TEAM Architects Scholarships are awarded based on consideration of the design work in the first semester of the Master’s course. This is the only national scholarship open to fourth-year architectural students from the four Schools of Architecture here in Aotearoa New Zealand.
There are some minor changes to the scholarship programme this year. We have added an extra Distinction Award of $1000, and the Sustainability/Innovation Award will be retired owing to how these considerations are now generally embedded into all projects.
Submissions are made by students to their architecture school: The University of Auckland, UNITEC, Victoria University or AUT. Each school will select two of the applicants to enter the awards. Then Our nine TEAM offices around the country rank the final eight submissions, and results are calculated to find our recipients.
TEAM is proud of what this scholarship achieves, strengthening the links between the schools, architecture graduates and practice.
Scholarship details
To be considered for the TEAM Architects Scholarship awards, applicants must be in their first year of a Master of Architecture (Professional) programme in an Aotearoa New Zealand School of Architecture: The University of Auckland, UNITEC, Victoria University, or AUT. A point of contact at each University will be in touch with the eligible students directly.
Applicants are required to submit the main final project in the design course from the first semester of first year of Masters (It is not necessary to specially prepare a portfolio).
