Calling all high school members!

The AIAS has partnered with the National Student Leadership Conference (NSLC)! The NSLC provides an immersive, pre-college experience that prepares students for life beyond middle and high school, allowing them to study in university classrooms, learn to navigate a campus, and experience living with roommates.

Students can explore a career concentration they are interested in before going to college and declaring a major. In the architecture program, students will get hands-on experience with a studio project, computer-aided design, model making, sketching, drafting, and portfolio design.

 

Summer Dates for 2025 

The summer NSLC architecture program takes place at Georgetown University in Washington, DC on the following dates:

  • Session 1: 6/13/2025 – 6/21/2025
  • Session 2: 6/25/2025 – 7/3/2025
  • Session 3: 7/8/2025 – 7/16/2025
  • Session 4: 7/20/2025 – 7/28/2025

Tuition covers housing and on-campus meals, plus course materials, academic expenses, trips, tours, activities, and off-campus event transportation. Travel costs to and from the program itself are not included, and students are individually responsible for expenses such as spending money for souvenirs, laundry, and off-campus meals.
