Fellowship in the AIA is the highest membership honor an architect member can receive. It is bestowed by one’s peers in recognition of the architect’s significant contribution to architecture and to society on a national level, and on those who have achieved a standard of excellence in the profession. Some 2,300 AIA members have the distinction of using FAIA after their names. Annually, on average, an additional 100 members are added to the College of Fellows roster.
Who is Eligible?
An AIA architect member in good standing. This also applies to Architect Emeritus members.
An AIA architect with at least ten (10) cumulative years of architect membership prior to the submission deadline.
Architects who have made significant contributions to the profession and society and who exemplify architectural excellence.
