Socially Engaged Practice

The CityStudioSTL Faculty Community Engagement Grants seek faculty teaching courses that elevate community-engaged learning, scholarship, and practical applications. This includes courses that engage with the St. Louis region through the study of, community issues and contemporary topics, as well as courses that partner directly with community organizations and members. Proposals with long-term collaborative plans within existing courses will be prioritized.

The CityStudioSTL Fellowship provides funded opportunities for architecture, landscape architecture, and urban design students to work with a local firm to address socially engaged challenges in St. Louis. Participating students will complete a 12-week civic or pro bono project in the St. Louis region at a host firm.

CityStudioSTL Student Awards are open to full-time undergraduate or graduate students who propose to continue a community collaborative project from a curricular or cocurricular experience. Awards will support students who wish to either complete a project begun in a course, or expand the project’s original scope; priority is given to initiatives that are already underway.

Funding open to Sam Fox School faculty to support art and design projects and installations in the Grand Center Arts District.
