AiS Participants have the option to submit a request for funds to support the purchase and distribution of art supplies and materials to students participating in the 2026-2027 Architects in Schools season.
If granted, these funds are to be used for school supplies for the Architects in Schools program such as pencils, paper, scissors, etc., and art supplies such as construction paper, coloring utensils, and more. Participants are responsible for the purchase and distribution of supplies to students. Teachers or Design Building Professionals must be participating in Architects in Schools during the 26-27 school year to apply for this funding. If you are a College Student, please ask your Teacher or DBP to apply.
