The E. Lewis Dales Traveling Fellowships
The E. Lewis Dales Traveling Fellowships were established under his will in 1963 for travel abroad during the summer prior to the student's final year as a candidate for the first professional degree in architecture. Competition for these awards is conducted by the Department of Architecture in January.
Students are selected for the Fellowships through an anonymous portfolio competition judged during the first week of the spring semester by a committee comprised of standing and core studio faculty. The Dales Fellowships enable the Department to encourage students to begin the documentation and presentation of their work, a process that is integral to the development of a design ethic and to interviewing for a job.
Jury Process
The Weitzman Architecture Faculty Jury (see list below) evaluated 65 anonymous portfolio submissions. They were asked to score each portfolio and submit short statements on what they valued while assessing each portfolio. The 2026 Dales Fellowships will be awarded to the highest scoring submissions.
