Description

The Walter A. Hunt, Jr. Scholarship honors the passing of Walter A. Hunt, Jr., its namesake and benefactor. Hunt's generosity of spirit and commitment to education live on in the scholarship he established. A single award in the amount of $10,000 per year for two years may be given. After recipients complete their first year, they will submit a transcript, a recommendation from a professor, and a reflection of the year to the committee for the second year disbursement. Applicants must be current New York City public high school seniors who have been accepted to a 5-year Bachelor of Architecture program at a NAAB-accredited School of Architecture in the U.S. Students at NYC Charter High Schools are eligible. Students at private, parochial or other schools where tuition is charged are not eligible. The second year of the scholarship funding is dependent on demonstrated successful completion of the student's first year. Applicants are encouraged to submit the portfolio which had been previously submitted to the Bachelor of Architecture program they are pursuing, if applicable. The digital portfolio must consist of at least 3-4 pieces of the student's own visual art, design, or architecture work, though applicants may submit additional work if they feel it is relevant to their application. Projects may be 2-D or 3-D, and can be both finished and/or in-process projects. If a group project is submitted, the student must indicate their role in the project. Applicants must also submit two Letters of Recommendation. Applicants are encouraged to submit the recommendation letters previously submitted to the Bachelor of Architecture program they are pursuing. Recommendations cannot be from a relative of the student and should speak to the student's character, promise, skills, and the likelihood of success in a college architecture program. Please visit the award's website or contact the Center for Architecture for more information.
