WHAT WE DO
The Wichita Architectural Foundation is unique – the largest firms in Wichita working together to encourage students and young professionals to select Wichita for their futures. We provide scholarships and we sponsor architecture studios at both KSU and KU to use Wichita as their Project site.

We support our scholarship and studio efforts with a yearly golf tournament for Wichita’s Architectural, Engineering and Construction industry to spend the day together and raise funds... It’s the best Tournament of the year!
