• College of Architecture Scholarships: All students, regardless of their student admission classification, i.e. domestic or international students, are encouraged to apply for available scholarships that are administered through the College of Architecture. In order to be considered for available scholarships, students must complete a College of Architecture General Scholarship Application. These applications are available from the College of Architecture website at www.arch.uh.edu and from the College of Architecture Dean’s Office front desk. Students are STRONGLY encouraged to include a portfolio as a part of their scholarship application as the chances of receiving a scholarship are greatly increased with the submission of this supplemental information.

Graduate and Undergraduate students who wish to apply for available assistantship offerings must complete an Instructional Assistantship Application, which is available on the College of Architecture’s website at www.arch.uh.edu or from the College of Architecture Dean’s Office front desk. Students who are new to the College of Architecture are advised to apply for these assistantships after they have completed their first semester or year in the program. Typically, students must have shown a proficiency in English as well as their comprehension of the subject matter for the course that they intend to assist with before they are assigned a course.
