$442,020 in scholarships funded by our generous donors provided 689 students with the financial assistance they need to pursue their dreams in architecture and design.

I’m a first-year Bachelor of Architecture student at BAC, and I want to express my sincere gratitude for the scholarship. Without it, I wouldn’t be able to attend school or afford the cost of living in Boston.

The BAC is special to me because of its diverse and supportive community, its commitment to social impact through design, and the way it integrates education with real-world experience. It has given me the platform to grow as both a designer and a leader, while also making lifelong connections.
