Consider: “Education… plays an out-sized role in people’s lives. It can vastly outweigh the effects of family and local community on people’s beliefs, values, tastes, and life paths. For the individual student, the investment in time and money, not to mention stress, can be enormous.” The New Yorker, September 30, 2019 The Jean Roth Driskel (JRD) ScholarshipEstablished in 1971 to honor Jean Roth Driskel, our first female AIA Pasadena-Foothill Chapter President and the third woman to be elected to the College of Fellows. These scholarships are awarded annually to architectural students: Community College and University students, in recognition of their dedication, enthusiasm, and ability in the field of architecture. Since 1990 the fund has been a component fund of the California Community Foundation (CCF), an established 501(c)(3) organization. Our program is administered by the Chapter Scholarship Committee and, since 2001, they have interviewed over 300 students and awarded over 40 scholarships. This program has contributed to AIA Pasadena-Foothill’s exceptional reputation for supporting emerging professionals, honored by AIA California. Students must be nominated by their school's Department Chair. Participating schools are in the general geographic area of the AIAPF Chapter. They are each asked to submit two names of candidates to be interviewed by the AIAPF JRD Scholarship Committee, in the spring for Community College students and the fall for University students.
