Student Funding Support
The
Jean Roth Driskel Scholarship
is awarded on an annual basis with funds from an endowment managed by
the California Community Foundation.
This award is given in two categories:
One to a Community College Student and one to a University Student in
recognition of his or her dedication, enthusiasm and ability in the
field of architecture. The first is to a Community College student who
must have been accepted to a university level architectural program
offering a four or five-year degree. The second is offered to a
university student in his or her third, fourth or fifth year of
undergraduate architectural study.
Students attending an accredited program of Architecture at a college or
university are encouraged to contact the Chapter office to find out if
their school can submit their names.
These students then go through a screening and interview process with
examples of their work provided to a panel of AIA members.The
Scholarship is awarded on the basis of need, skill, and demonstrated
motivation to succeed in the field of Architecture. This scholarship is
also available for matching funds from AIA National.
Successful recipients are awarded their checks and feted at one of the
major Chapter social events in front of the AIA membership.
The scholarship was established in the name
of Jean Roth Driskel in 1971 to honor her great love for and dedication
to the profession of architecture. She was a native of the state of
Washington and educated at the University of Washington and subsequently
at the Art Center School of Design in Los Angeles.
She opened her own office in South Pasadena in 1948 (the same year, incidentally, that the Pasadena & Foothill Chapter of the AIA was chartered). Jean joined this Chapter in 1956 and after actively and effectively chairing a number of committees, became the first woman Chapter President in 1968. She served on the board of the California Council, AIA from 1967 through 1969 and was elected Secretary in 1971. And, also in 1971, she was elected to the College of Fellows of the AIA.
Active in her community and her profession, Jean was also an avid skier
and was admired by all and loved by many. Jean Roth Driskel succumbed to
cancer in 1971. Jean set an example for a life passionately and actively
lived. This scholarship program seems a fitting tribute to the
profession Jean loved so dearly.
The Cavin Family Traveling Fellowship was established in 2002 as part of the California Community Foundation. In 2006 our Chapter assumed the management of the fellowship under the leadership of a designated CFTF Secretary, and it promotes sustainability. It honors the architectural traditions of William Brooks Cavin, Sr. and William Brooks Cavin, Jr., FAIA.
It is awarded on the basis of juried design competitions and awards a promising architecture graduate or practitioner $10,000 to advance their education through ten weeks of self-devised foreign travel-study. The scholar must be a U.S. citizen under 35 years of age with a professional architecture degree from Cal Poly Pomona or the University of Oregon.
