Reinvest in Students Everywhere (RISE) was started to address the inadequate representation of people of color and allies of diversity in the Arkansas design community. Our goal is to make a difference in the ongoing future of architecture and design by introducing young students, from overlooked areas of Arkansas and beyond, to opportunities in design that they may not have known were available. We belive that we can start to improve the health of the built environment by investing time, resources, and funds into aspiring young designers and making our community more inclusive.
Our Scholars
RISE is proud to celebrate and recognize our scholarship recipients as we continue to support students working towards their respective degrees in design. RISE has awarded thousands of dollars in architecture scholarships to deserving students that are like-minded in their efforts to design with community and diversity at the forefront of their school work.
