Architecture 150 Global Study Endowed Scholarship
This scholarship was established by Bernie Armstrong ’85 in recognition of the 150th anniversary of the School of Architecture. The scholarship is awarded to one undergraduate student entering their third- or fourth-year of study with demonstrated financial need with preference to students who are participating in a semester abroad program in Florence, Italy.
“I had studied the Renaissance treasures of Florence in architectural history classes back in Slocum Hall, but until one walks the streets and breathes the odors, one cannot fully appreciate the richness of Florence,” says Armstrong. “My inspiration is simply to try to make this available to all students so that they too have an opportunity.”

Brian c. west scholar award
This award was established in memory of Brian C. West ’97 by his wife Amma Tanksley-West ’95, who worked tirelessly to help make the fund in memory of her husband a reality. Brian passed away after a short illness in March 2008. His final work was with The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey in the World Trade Center Redevelopment Division where he was Senior Project Manager for the Freedom Tower. He always attributed part of his success to the summer internships he held in New York when he was an undergraduate student. He also understood that such an experience was financially out of reach for a number of students, particularly African-American students. It is because of this that Amma established the award in his memory.
DOUG WHITNEY ’80 SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE GLOBAL EXPERIENCE SCHOLARSHIP
