The AIA Pennsylvania Student Awards annually recognize an architecture student from each of Pennsylvania’s seven schools offering a National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB) architecture program. The program recognizes the exceptional scholastic achievement and future promise of a graduating student. 

Students are selected by their faculty and have proven to be proficient in both academics and design and ready to take on the challenges and responsibilities of the work environment in an architecture firm.

Currently, schools in Pennsylvania offering one or more National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB) accredited architecture programs include Carnegie Mellon University, Drexel University, Marywood University, Pennsylvania State University, Thomas Jefferson University, Temple University, and the University of Pennsylvania.
