Associate Resources
AIA Santa Fe offers a number of programs to assist Associate members as they navigate their careers.
ARE Study Materials Lending Program
Free Access to ARE Study Materials for AIA Santa Fe Members
AIA Santa Fe offers its members exclusive access to a comprehensive lending library of ARE study materials. This includes carefully curated study guides, practice exams, and flashcards—all available for free checkout. Designed to support members on their path to licensure, these resources provide essential tools to prepare effectively for the Architect Registration Examination
ARE Scholarship Program
Financial Support for Associate Members Completing the ARE Exams
The ARE Scholarship Program at AIA Santa Fe is dedicated to helping Associate Members manage the costs associated with completing their Architect Registration Examination.
Eligible Associate Members in good financial standing can access scholarship funds designed to alleviate exam fees. Upon passing an ARE exam, members receive a reimbursement of $150 toward their exam costs.
​
With an annual allocation of $1,500, this scholarship program has been fully sustained since 2017 thanks to the generous support of an Allied Partner of the Chapter—reflecting our community’s commitment to fostering emerging professionals on their licensure journey.
Open Studio Series
Firm-Led Presentations and Peer Dialogue for Emerging Professionals
Associate members gather quarterly at different Santa Fe architecture firms for a unique opportunity to explore local practices. Selected firm staff present their projects and share insights, creating an open environment where emerging professionals can connect, learn about various firms, and engage in candid discussions about career development within the architecture community.
