The College of Architecture, Planning & Design (APDesign) aspires to be the model 21st century land-grant design college. We want to educate students who reflect the society we serve and graduate with less financial burden than their peers.
Philanthropic support is vital to decrease the cost of degree completion, encourage design and planning students to fulfill their personal and professional goals and assist the college in recruiting and retaining top talent.
The APDesign Fifth-year Fellowship Program aims to eventually provide every student in the 5th year of their program with philanthropic support to reduce the total cost of their degree and remove obstacles of financial burden. With investment from alumni and friends like you, we can retain and graduate the next generation of design leaders who will shape the future of the world we live in.
