Members of the American Institute of Architecture, San Fernando Valley Chapter (which extends from Mulholland Hwy. to the North Los Angeles County Line and the Antelope Valley), have a mission to serve our profession and our community. To further our mission, the AIA/SFV has committed to recognize and encourage architectural students in our community and at Woodbury University by funding scholarships through the school s Grand Critique Awards program. We view the education process integrating both the value of design and problem solving to encourage the students as young professionals, to be an integral part of that mission. We believe that architectural students will assume their roles as the future stewards of our built environments and will be called on as visionaries for sustainable environments accommodating social and cultural forces throughout the United States and the world. The AIA San Fernando Valley Chapter has established an independent endowment account expressly to fund these named scholarships which are being awarded consisting of $1,000 scholarships, We are accepting additional contributions from individuals, companies, design corporations and other sources to further the growth of the endowment program. 1.
