The Richard Morris Hunt Prize is an intensive and curated six-month fellowship, divisible into two or three periods, that carries a $20,000 award for registered architects to pursue cutting-edge research on emerging trends in historic preservation. As part of the RMHP experience, the Fellow benefits from guidance and access to a network of the leading historic preservation professionals in France and the United States. U.S. design professionals study in France, and French design professionals study in the U.S. for alternating years. Applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents.
