International Professional Internship Program The International Professional Internship Program allows students at the master’s through doctoral levels to participate in internships lasting six months to a year, giving them significant professional experience in their field of study on the other side of the Atlantic.

Richard Morris Hunt Prize

In association with the The American Institute of Architects (AIA), FHS also selected one fellow and three scholars within our prestigious Richard Morris Hunt Prize awarding a total of $30,000 for their architectural projects.

French Heritage Society, under a co-sponsorship agreement with the American Architectural Foundation, participates in awarding the Richard Morris Hunt Prize each year, alternately to a French or to an American preservation architect.

It offers them the opportunity to travel to the other side of the Atlantic for six months where they experience their counterparts’ theories, methodologies, rules and practices.

Named for the first American architect to study at Paris’ Ecole des Beaux Arts, the program, founded in 1990, is led by Michèle le Menestrel Ullrich, RMH Prize co-founder and Ronald Bogle, AAF President and CEO.
