Rotch Scholarship Competition. How does this work? The Rotch Travelling Scholarship is an annual two-stage design competition that results in one person, deemed the Rotch Scholar, traveling the world for eight months studying architecture — and we pick up the tab. In the first stage of the selection process, a weekend-long preliminary design competition is held. Finalists from this competition go on to compete in the second stage, a 10-day competition culminating in a design presentation to a distinguished jury in Boston. What are you looking for? Juries seek “evidence of imaginative capacity.” Strong organizing conceptual principle or thesis Quality of poetic and philosophical rationale Inventiveness Effective development of structure, circulation and materials Thoughtful consideration of site and context Representation of a complete architectural project, both physically and conceptually Quality, completion, clarity and effectiveness of presentation How much do I receive to travel?
