Lower Rio Grande Valley AIA Scholarship Announcements
September 2010
McAllen, TX – The Lower Rio Grande Valley Chapter of the American Institute of Architects (LRGV-AIA) has announced the recipients of its scholarship program for students in the chapter area – Laredo to Brownsville.
A $1,500 grant was awarded to Allen Delesantro of Weslaco, TX, who graduated from The Science Academy, Mercedes, TX and will attend Cornell University in Ithaca, NY.
Two students at the University of Texas Brownsville’s School of Architecture also received scholarships. Luis Jasso was the recipient of $1,500 and Jesus Chavez received a $500 scholarship.
The scholarships are sustained with funds raised at the chapter’s annual golf tournament, which is supported by the local design and construction industry and also in part by a grant from the American Institute of Architect’s Component Matching Grant Program.
The LRGV-AIA Scholarship has three grant categories, one for students who are about to graduate from high school and have been accepted to an accredited undergraduate architecture degree program; another for students currently enrolled in an accredited undergraduate or graduate program, and the third category is for a student or students attending our local school of architecture at the University of Texas Brownsville.
