Grants Program

The Division's Grant Program is an outstanding opportunity for members. The grant program provides funding for members to infuse the urban design and historic preservation professions with new ideas, explore innovative design solutions outside the realms of everyday practice, and start a dialogue with colleagues about the future of the professions and the built environment.
