The John K. Branner Traveling Fellowship is open to Master of Architecture students at the College of Environmental Design. The prize amounts, in the range of $25,000–35,000, are awarded to between three and six students for a 12-month fellowship starting in December, to be used during or before the final year in the M.Arch. program. Students must explore a particular architectural question or issue that may later be expanded as a thesis. France and Italy must be included in the itinerary.
2010-11 Fellowships
To apply for the next Branner Traveling Fellowship, students must first fill out the Branner eligibility screening form and return it to the Architecture Graduate Office in 370 Wurster Hall in April 2010 (actual date to be announced). Applicant eligibility will be reviewed by the Prize Committee prior to the entry submission date.
Once eligibility has been established, the deadline for proposal submissions is in August 2010 (actual date to be announced). Full instructions can be found in the Branner information document. Please note that the portfolio must be anonymous, and it must comply with Architecture Department portfolio rules.
