Graduate students and young professionals are invited to apply for the 2023 John G. Thorpe Young Professionals and Students Fellowship. This program was established in 2016 to honor John Garrett Thorpe, prominent restoration architect and longtime Conservancy board member.

Young professionals in the first five years of their careers in architecture or historic preservation, and graduate students in architecture or historic preservation (full-time or part-time) currently enrolled at the time of application, are eligible to apply for a fellowship. Recipients will receive one regular general conference registration to attend the Conservancy’s 2023 annual conference in Chicago, Colleagues & Clients: Women’s Roles in Frank Lloyd Wright’s Architecture, taking place from September 27 through October 1 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Two or more awards will be made in 2022.
