NewSchool Opportunity Award

NewSchool of Architecture & Design annually awards the Opportunity Award to outstanding students in all of our degree programs who are experiencing a temporary financial hardship. All eligible students are encouraged to apply by the deadline. Scholarship awards are made for varying amounts, generally up to $10,000, with specific amounts dependent on the number of qualified applicants, amount of student’s financial need, and the number of funds available. Scholarship funds are disbursed quarterly during the academic year.

Financial need and proof of temporary hardship are the two most important criteria used in determining recipients. In addition, applicants may be reviewed for the significance of their work as recognized by the faculty and/or other professionals, and service that leads to the betterment of NewSchool.
