 Educator/Practitioner
Network (EPN)
The EPN Advisory Committee is dedicated to facilitating
partnerships between educators and practitioners for the
professional preparation of architects. For more information, visit

The Practice
Academy
The Practice Academy is a new partnership of the AIA, the
architectural academy, and architecture firms to provide a
framework for a rigorous internship for students and architectural
interns. Three selected schools of architecture will each receive a
total of $30,000 over the next three years to support the
development of their proposed pilot program.
AIA Provides Scholarships through its
Components
The AIA national component supports local and state
components and their affiliated foundations in their efforts to
provide scholarships to students in NAAB-accredited programs.
Guidelines have been revised to include wider distribution of
awards and encourage additional student scholarships. For more
information please download guidelines and application form.
AIA Case Studies
Initiative
The AIA invites collaboration—by firms and schools of
architecture, and by faculty and researchers with
practitioners—to research, document, and analyze recently
completed and ongoing projects. The purpose of this initiative is
to share experience and knowledge of practice—both success
stories and lessons learned—for the benefit of the profession,
owners/clients, and the public.
