The future of the architectural profession resides with the next generation of architects. The AIA Santa Clara Valley understands the importance of assisting with the education of these future professionals. We feel a student's decision to study architecture should be determined by talent and perseverance, and not limited by financial status.
In these times, scholarships are becoming even more important. AIASCV offers four scholarships to students persuing an architectural degree.
In 2009 the AIASCV awarded $10,000 in funds to two students enrolled in architecture programs at the undergraduate level for the 2009-2010 academic year. The scholarship awards included funds from the 2009 Component Matching Grant program, a joint scholarship program between AIASCV and the National AIA.
AIASCV William R. Hawley Scholarship Fund
For any West Valley architectural student or any Santa Clara County resident enrolled in a college or university program leading to a degree in architecture. The applicant shall have completed a minimum of two years of the program at the end of the current academic year, or be enrolled in a graduate program.
David W. Lakamp Fund
For any architecture student attending any school of architecture with a special interest in architectural design, including any combined studies, such as architecture and art, and architecture and engineering.
Ehrlich Rominger Scholarship Fund
For any student that is a legal resident of Santa Clara County who attends a school with an architecture program or a legal resident of the U.S.A. who attends a school with an architecture program in Santa Clara County. The purpose of this Scholarship Fund is to award up to two annual scholarships to deserving architectural students.
Leo and Trinidad Sanchez Scholarship Fund
For Hispanic/American architecture students who are legal residents of Santa Clara or Santa Cruz Counties, who are either a graduating high school senior accepted to be enrolled or a student currently enrolled in a program at any school leading to a degree in architecture.
