The Wallenberg Endowment

The Wallenberg Endowment

The Wallenberg Endowment of the University of Michigan awards the Wallenberg Medal and Lecture to outstanding humanitarians to honor Raoul Wallenberg. The university's Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning also awards Wallenberg Scholarships to exceptional undergraduate and graduate students, many of which are given to enable students to broaden their study of architecture to include work in distant locations.
