HISTORY:

Since 1883, the Rotch Scholar has been chosen annually through a two-stage design competition. The first stage is a weekend-long preliminary competition that requires entrants to create a design in response to a specific architectural problem posed by the scholarship committee. The preliminary jury then evaluates the entrants’ designs in terms of their creative potential to determine which candidates are best qualified to fulfill the goals of the program. The one year of full-time professional experience must be completed by the first day of the competition year.
