The Connecticut Architecture Foundation was established in 1978 by the Connecticut Society of Architects (now the American Institute of Architects Connecticut) as an independent 501c3 organization to raise and distribute funds to raise public awareness of, and expectations for, architecture and the built environment.
Over the last 40+ years, more than $500,000 in scholarships have been awarded to recipients. It is guided by a volunteer board of directors composed of architects and allied professionals.
