Corella & Bertram F. Bonner Foundation and the UVA School of Architecture announce their new partnership that will provide a minimum annual scholarship of $5,000 to Bonner Program alumni admitted to the school’s graduate programs.
The UVA School of Architecture joins a diverse, multi-state consortium of participating colleges and universities who share a common commitment to the Bonner Foundation’s mission to “transform students, communities, and campuses through service.” The Bonner Program, which includes the Bonner Scholars Program and the Bonner Leader Program, provides scholarships to students in exchange for weekly commitment to intensive and meaningful service with local community organizations over their four years as undergraduate students. Bonner students engage in leadership development and social justice topics, leading to a greater awareness how issues that their communities face can be addressed through impactful service, policy, and design.
The University of Virginia’s School of Architecture will further support Bonner Scholars and Leaders who are seeking to advance their educations in design and the built environment, while engaging with critical issues of spatial, environmental, and social justice. The UVA School of Architecture offers graduate degrees in and across its four departments: architecture, architectural history, landscape architecture, and urban and environmental planning. School of Architecture graduate students have the unique opportunity to learn and work collaboratively across disciplinary boundaries, catalyzing new approaches and visions to address our world’s complex challenges with rigor and empathy.
As part of a renowned research institution with top-ranking graduate programs, the UVA School of Architecture’s educational mission is to shape a new generation of innovative leaders, thinkers, designers, and makers who are committed to being exemplary partners in creating the most just, compelling, and courageous of futures. As part of a public institution, our commitment is to build, promote and sustain a culture of inclusion and equity within and beyond the University.
Bonner Scholar/Leaders, alumni or staff interested in pursuing a master’s degree are encouraged to apply for admission to any of the UVA School of Architecture’s master’s degree programs and will receive the following partnership benefits:
— Application fee waiver
— A minimum annual scholarship of $5,000 (with further consideration for additional merit-based scholarship support)
