Roger Williams University’s School of Architecture, Art and Historic Preservation has teamed up with local architecture firm S/L/A/M Collaborative to create a scholarship program to recognize exceptional architecture students at the university.
Katelyn Chapin, a fourth-year architecture student, received the inaugural $2,500 S/L/A/M Collaborative Architecture Student Scholarship.
Dean Steve White said Chapin was chosen “due to her high level of academic achievement and for a particularly broad range of co-curricular leadership activities both on and off campus.”
The school also awarded $500 honorable mention scholarships to Andrew Cabana, a fourth-year architecture student; and Brian Fontaine, a third-year student.
The scholarship program was initiated by RWU alumnus Kevin Herrick, a member of the class of 1988 and a principal at S/L/A/M Collaborative, who engaged his firm to give back to his alma mater. Recipients will use the scholarships to support their educational costs during the 2007-08 academic year. •
