The Michael G. Meyers Design & Scholarship Competition is an annual high school student competition that awards $10,000 in college scholarships each year. An ideas competition with an emphasis on creative problem solving and graphic presentation, students in previous years have designed a soccer stadium, a fire station, a recycling center, a museum, and many other challenging projects with real site locations in the greater Houston area. Each year's program is announced in January. The Competition Committee hosts a series of events including a workshop, site tour, and interim review to help the students learn basic architectural design skills and understand the competition requirements. Each April the winners are announced at an awards ceremony and exhibit hosted at Architecture Center Houston. All Houston area high school students are eligible to participate regardless of class affiliation or age. Teachers and Counselors are encouraged to promote this scholarship competition.
