CityStudioSTL Fellowships

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. Summer 2025 host firms include Arbolope Studio, Christner Architects, Mackey Mitchell Architects, PGAV Planners, Trivers, and Counterpublic.
