CALL FOR ENTRIES
The California Architectural Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to the advancement
of architecture and the science and art of environmental design, and is managed by a volunteer
Board of Regents composed of architects and members of the public with the purpose of
administering grants and scholarships relating to the architectural profession and education in
California. The Foundation has been a strong advocate for architectural education in California
through its support of programs such as the Mel Ferris Scholarship Program, named for Mel Ferris,
Hon. AIA, who served as executive director of the AIA California Council from 1953 until his
retirement in 1978. The scholarship is funded by contributions from California architects, their firms
and friends who have join in this effort to recognize Ferris’ contribution to the profession of
architecture and to California architects.
Purpose: The Mel Ferris Scholarship program provides scholarships to qualified architecture students studying at one of the ten accredited Architecture universities in California. The scholarships are awarded
based upon demonstrated financial need, as well as academic and design achievements, and are
