Beyer Blinder Belle Foundation Scholarship

About Beyer Blinder Belle Foundation

The Beyer Blinder Belle Foundation (BBBF) advances diversity and the role of architecture, planning, and preservation in strengthening the physical and social fabric of our cities, communities, and institutions.
Through fellowships, grants, scholarships, and other initiatives, the Foundation engages the full cycle of design, from inspiring young people to enter the profession, to supporting graduate-level studies and travel, to enabling thoughtful, socially-conscious design and planning that directly benefits communities.
This mission is inspired by the core values of Beyer Blinder Belle, which from its founding defined an approach to design focused on architecture empowering people through their interaction on streets and in neighborhoods, and through their connections to the surrounding built environment.
