Robert & Dee Herschberger Foreign Travel Scholarship Fund – With initial gifts from the Cornerstone Building Foundation, Arizona Builders’ Alliance, Robert and Deanna Hershberger and distinguished alumni and friends of CAPLA, this scholarship endowment provides funding for an undergraduate student in the School of Architecture to travel to a foreign country to study noteworthy exterior urban places. Robert Hershberger, Professor and Dean Emeritus of the School and a founding member of the Cornerstone Building Foundation, believes that first hand experience with the architecture of urban centers outside the United states is a critical part of an architectural education. The intention is that students will use the information gathering skills of literature search, interviewing and observation (types) learned in architectural programming to gain understanding of the design decisions that help create successful urban spaces/places.  http://capla.arizona.edu/scholarships/robert-and-deanna-hershberger-foreign-travel

Harold Pedersen AIA Scholarship Fund – This scholarship has been established through the generous gifts from friends and family of Harold S. Pedersen and supporters of the philosophies espoused by Harold during his life and work. Harold S. Pedersen, AIA, was an architect in general practice in Tucson from 1971 to 2003. He was a principal of the firm he co-owned with his wife Joyce H. Pedersen, for 31 years. Harold was a well-rounded practitioner, who was competent in all aspects of the architectural profession. He could easily size a beam, lay out an electrical panel or develop a construction cost estimate. He recognized that much of what one needs to know in architecture, one learns on the job. He adopted and enjoyed the role of teacher and mentor. Over the years, he was a mentor to scores of young architects. The intent of this scholarship is both to encourage students to look beyond architectural design to the entire realm of what architecture embodies, and to promote mentoring in the architecture profession. The person selected for this scholarship should have a willingness to share his or her knowledge and should be prepared to make a commitment to mentoring others later in his or her career.  http://capla.arizona.edu/scholarships/harold-s-pedersen-aia-scholarship
