IAAC’s funding is tightly aligned with its own education and research mission, supporting students and emerging practitioners in architecture, urbanism, design, digital fabrication, robotics, and advanced construction. Its grants are mostly merit-based tuition waivers or highly targeted research fellowships, with a clear emphasis on innovation, sustainability, and interdisciplinary work that bridges academia and applied prototyping. The women-in-tech fund also signals an effort to diversify technology-driven fields and support underrepresented candidates in its programs.
Primarily merit-based tuition waivers and competitive scholarships tied to IAAC’s own programs; awards are usually partial and determined case-by-case, with some fully funded research residencies. Most opportunities are annual or open throughout the admissions cycle, and applicants are considered through program or scholarship applications rather than a separate broad grantmaking process.

Apply directly through IAAC’s admissions or scholarship process, and do so early—some awards are first-come, first-served or prioritized for early applicants. For scholarship competitions, prepare a strong portfolio and project brief; for the Bosch Aymerich program, note the Spanish nationality requirement and the May 1–31 application window.
