Quotes from past recipients:
"I have confidence you exceptionally understand the assistance which the scholarship provides me with. I would still like to express my continuous gratitude for the many opportunities and experience you have granted me. I know that architecture school has been one of the most challenging, yet rewarding experiences I have pursued; furthermore it has been made much more rewarding as a direct result of the grant." - Master of Architecture student
