After its first inaugural cohort was announced in 2020, NOMA Foundation Fellowship (NFF) welcomes its fourth class of architecture students chosen as this year's 2022 Summer NFF cohort. A special initiative that provides mentorship and design research experience for young emerging professionals, the NFF has become an impactful program offered to underrepresented architecture students. 

During the two-month summer fellowship, each student is hosted at a leading architecture firm across the nation. During the summer, student fellows "engage in design research and benefit from firm mentorship." NOMA shares, "NFF provides professional experience to underrepresented students to connect them to the profession and provide a pipeline to eventual employment, supporting the 2030 Diversity Challenge, which aims to increase the number of licensed Black architects."

Jason Pugh, NOMA President and Gensler Principal Architect and Certified Urban Planner shared the value and impact programs like NFF create for young designers of color. "The NOMA Foundation Fellowship is one of our most impactful programs to build and develop the next generation of Black and minority architects and designers, which highlights the importance of mentorship. To date, more than 80 students have been awarded fellowships since the program began in 2020, and many of those enter into full-time design and architect positions, demonstrating the value of making professional connections. As a practicing architect and urban planner myself, I support the opportunity to bring in new talent to learn from professionals while also making connections to break down industry barriers.”
