Less than three percent of the architecture profession achieve AIA Fellowship. New fellows will be honored at the Investiture and AIA Awards Gala on June 5, 2025, in Boston. 

The fellowship program was developed to elevate those architects who have achieved a standard of excellence in the profession and made a significant contribution to architecture and society on a national level.
