The NSW Architects Registration Board invites eligible architects, graduates and students to apply for this prestigious program by 31 August 2024.

The NSW Architects Registration Board is now accepting applications for the 2024 Byera Hadley Travelling Scholarship. This prestigious program, made possible by the generous bequest of Sydney architect and educator Byera Hadley (1872-1937), offers a unique opportunity for NSW architects, graduates and architecture students to expand their knowledge through travel-based research.

In 2023, the NSW Architects Registration Board awarded five scholarships totalling $126,500 to the following recipients:

  • Georgina Blix - Design for Wellbeing
  • Andrea Lam - Chinatowns around the world are disappearing - how can architecture ensure their future?
  • Grace McLean - Home (like) Birth
  • D'Arcy Newberry-Dupé - Killing Our Darlings
  • Victoria King - Shop / House– exploring the enduring qualities of an age-old type

Since 1951, the scholarships have supported over 230 recipients, contributing more than $3.5 million to architectural research and education. The program advances architectural practice, fosters innovative research, and promotes cultural exchange.

Eligibility is open to graduates and students of NSW accredited university architecture programs. Graduate scholarships provide up to $30,000 and student scholarships provide up to $15,000. All proposals must involve travel. Previous recipients may re-apply after a 5-year interval from their last scholarship completion.
