To carry weight in an admission decision, creative materials should be added to the student's application as soon as possible after their application is submitted; as no creative supplements are required for admission to the university, the admission committee will not wait to receive such materials before reviewing an application. The Tulane University Architecture Portfolio Award is only open to admitted students who have designated Architecture as their first or second major on their admission application. A portfolio is highly recommended for students interested in Architecture because it may strengthen an application. Students may upload up to 10 pieces representing the breadth of their design experience, including a couple of examples of freehand drawing. Students must not send architectural drafting exercises as the committee prefers to see the student's creativity rather than their drafting skills. Other architectural exercises, such as perspective drawings or models, are welcome. Hard copy materials will not be accepted in any medium. All scholarships require students to apply through an early application round (Early Decision I or II or Early Action). Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the Office of Financial Aid at Tulane University for more information.
