The Zaha Hadid Foundation recently announced the establishment of the Zaha Hadid Scholars Program in collaboration with the American University of Beirut. Starting in September 2025, the program aims to fully fund two undergraduate students each year for their five-year architecture degree. Students will be selected based on academic merit and financial need, seeking to honor Zaha Hadid's legacy as an educator.

Over eight months, more than 100 students have tested this educational process, which prioritizes their own hand-drawn sketches, paper constructions, and 3D models as the foundation for all AI-enhanced outputs.
