The American Institute of Architects awards an engraved medal and certificate of merit to the top-ranking graduating student in each architecture program accredited by the NAAB. A certificate of merit is awarded to the second-ranking graduating student.
Formerly called ‘The School Medal’ the program began in 1914 and was awarded for “general excellence in architecture throughout the four-year course to graduating students of architecture schools recognized by the Institute.” For scholastic attainment, character and promise of successful professional practice.

Alpha Rho Chi (Ki) Medal
Professional merit beyond the design studio and beyond their academic career.
“The members of Alpha Rho Chi (Ki) believe the profession of architecture needs strong leaders as much as it needs strong designers. We need people committed to public service. We need people to help maintain Architecture as a noble profession. We also maintain that high scholastic attainment is not necessarily an accurate measure of leadership or service.”
To a graduating student for service to her school and community, leadership, and who shows promise of professional merit through attitude and personality.
