SPONSORSHIP LEVELS

The mission of the Latinos in Architecture Committee is to serve and support our local communities and strengthen relationships and networks between professionals in the field of Architecture. We will also work to be a positive influence for Latino students aspiring to become architects, by finding opportunities to volunteer and get involved in community issues, providing guidance and expertise, and participating in mentoring programs. LiA seeks to serve and support our local communities by establishing a forum for celebrating Latinos in the design related professions. Latinos in Architecture intends to be an open resource group for architects, design professionals, educators, students, and the community.

LiA’s mission targets three specific goals to offer programs of value to our members: Education, Community, and Profession. These are the backbone for every event and involvement opportunity we pursue.

Several significant impacts our LiA members have made:• Inspiring and mentoring minority and impoverished students from

elementary, middle schools, and high schools who are interested in pursuing a career in architecture...”From an Architect’s Bookshelf” - A program that has been able to distribute over 3,000 books and 1,931 magazines to get libraries started!

• Becoming a voice of the growing Hispanic population in Dallas. According to the 2015 U.S. Census, Hispanics make up 40% of the Dallas population. As professionals, we see this as an opportunity for leadership within the City of Dallas.

• Helping local Hispanic communities have a voice by utilizing our expertise and leadership roles as active members of AIA Dallas.

• Being a resource to architecture firms that wish to reorient their practices and expand into Latin American markets. The committee can help maintain international relationships and partnerships, as well as serve as a marketing resource for architecture firms.

• In its eigth year celebrating National Hispanic Heritage Month, the AIA Dallas Latinos in Architecture Committee presents ENLACES, an exhibition celebrating Dallas Latinos in the design-related professions in our community. This event is both a social event, as well as an opportunity to continue the committee’s design community outreach.

• AIA Dallas Latinos in Architecture was the recipient of the 2012 AIA Diversity Recognition Program

The strength of LiA is through its multicultural members’ voices, and footsteps. Let’s celebrate Diversity by serving, inspiring, and promoting it!

The Scholarship is available for senior high school students enrolled in an architecture program (high school endorsement). LiA is devoted to helping our community, and through this scholarship, we aspire to bridge the gap in higher education access, college readiness, and help build a better future for our society.

LIA SCHOLARSHIP

2017 LATINOS IN ARCHITECTURE SCHOLARSHIP

AWARDED TO DISD HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS FOR COLLEGE EXPENSES INAUGURATED IN 2017 AT THE AIA DALLAS - LiA “ENLACES”!

PURPOSE:

The Latinos in Architecture Scholarship was founded to support and encourage economically-disadvantaged minority students who are pursuing a career in architecture. It is supported by a scholarship component grant from the AIA Dallas Latinos in Architecture Network.

BACKGROUND:

Many of today’s students across the US are leaving high school unprepared for college and the workforce. In the Dallas ISD, the number of students who graduate college based on ACT and SAT scores is currently less than 20%. Although graduation rates are on the rise, DISD students are not graduating ready for college. Additionally, economically disadvantaged students tend to struggle in school, perform poorly on standardized tests and are less likely to go to college. Today, Hispanics are the least likely among the major racial and ethnic groups to pursue a full- time college enrollment. Unfortunately, once DISD students are in college, only 15.2% complete a degree. The Latinos in Architecture Scholarship program aspires to bridge the financial gap and empower Latino students to pursue their highest potential through an architecture education. We welcome the support of our profession and the community to make access to education an affordable opportunity for all.
