ADAM Architecture Travel Scholarship 2026

Applications for the 2026 ADAM Architecture Travel Scholarship are now open.

About the Travel Scholarship

The ADAM Architecture Travel Scholarship provides an opportunity for students or recent graduates to travel abroad to conduct research on an architectural subject of their choosing.  The award of £2,000 supports original research in architecture, architectural technology and urban design.

Judges look for a significant piece of original research work which can provide an outstanding contribution to architectural knowledge. Applicants with all stylistic interests are encouraged, whether offering a fresh perspective on contemporary architecture, to traditional and everything in between. The scholarship is open to students enrolled at a UK or International University or School of Architecture, studying RIBA Part I, and up to 3 years after their Part II qualification, to students studying a CIAT accredited degree or post-graduate course, or equivalent qualification.
