The first edition of the Richard Ingersoll Scholarship aims to provide opportunities for 50 talented students who may not have the financial means to participate in design competitions. The selected individuals will have the chance to showcase their skills and creativity by taking part in a TerraViva architecture contest completely for free during 2024.
By naming this scholarship in memory of professor Richard Ingersoll, founder and former director of TerraViva Workshop, we pay tribute to his legacy and vision, ensuring that his principles of inclusivity and equal opportunity for all students continue to inspire and guide future generations of architects and designers.
Requirements to apply:
- Be currently enrolled in an architecture/urban planning/design university course anywhere in the world

Selection criteria:
