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.
