Thank you. Since 1930 the fellowship has given a young French architect the chance to study American architecture on site, building by building. It turns one hundred in 2030. Your gift goes to the 2027 award. The fund alone provides $5,000. Every gift above that lets the Fellow stay longer and go deeper, up to a full three months and $20,000. Donors are recognized at the November 17 launch in Paris and in the fellowship’s communications through the 2027 program year.

Merci. Depuis 1930, la bourse offre à un jeune architecte français la possibilité d’étudier l’architecture américaine sur place, bâtiment par bâtiment. Elle aura cent ans en 2030. Votre don est affecté à la bourse 2027. Le fonds seul assure 5 000 dollars. Chaque don au-delà permet au lauréat de rester plus longtemps et d’approfondir son étude, jusqu’à trois mois et 20 000 dollars. Les donateurs seront remerciés lors du lancement du 17 novembre à Paris et dans les communications du programme 2026-2027.
