Scholarships

a/e ProNet is excited to support the future of the design industry. We currently sponsor three national scholarships awarded annually:

 

a/e ProNet David W. Lakamp Architect Scholarship

This scholarship was initiated in 1990 and renamed in 1999 for David W. Lakamp. Mr. Lakamp was a founder of a/e ProNet and a trusted advisor to the profession. He left behind a legacy of professionalism and integrity that set new standards in the field of insurance services. The annual awards are given to the two students who best demonstrate strong interest in practice management.

Award: Two awards, $5,000 each
Eligibility: The scholarship is open to fourth-year undergraduates, and graduate students of architecture enrolled in an NAAB-accredited professional degree program. The promotion and selection are handled by the a/e ProNet Association. Eligible candidates are required to submit an application and the submissions are reviewed by jury members of a/e ProNet’s Scholarship Committee. Candidates must submit a copy of their transcripts, two letters of recommendation, and an essay on how they would resolve a project management dilemma.  

Applicants must include a Case Study essay and biography; a transcript from each academic institution attended since high school; minimum cumulative GPA: 3.0; two letters of recommendation addressed to the Scholarship Jury, one of which is from a department faculty member verifying applicant eligibility. Each recommendation should highlight three areas that articulate an applicant’s advantages or areas of excellence with practice and risk management; and a current resume.

Please review the entire electronic form before beginning the application process. Final materials should be sent via that electronic form. Neither print nor email applications will be accepted.  Be sure your name appears on all attachments.
