ALNNJ 2003 Scholarship Awards
The 2003 ALNNJ Scholarship Awards dinner
was held on June 19th at the New Jersey Botanical Garden (NJBG) at
Skylands, located in Ringwood, NJ. The NJBG offers the elegance of
its Tudor-style manor house, the beauty of its formal and naturalized
gardens and the serenity of its gentle woodland paths. The Awards
dinner was set at the historic Skylands Manor, a Tudor Revival mansion
built in the mid 1920s and designed by John Russell Pope.
This year's entries were reviewed by Frank Cunha III, Helen Logan,
and Fay Logan. Below is a brief summary of each award and a statement
about each winner:
Clarence Tabor Memorial Scholarship Award.
This award is given to undergraduate students entering their fifth
and final year of architecture, and is based on scholastic excellence,
attitude toward the profession, probable success as an architect,
and need for financial assistance. Unfortunately, we do not have a
recipient for this award this year.
I would have like to recommend Roimon Hepburn for an award; however,
he does not reside in our territory. Roimon is a student at Hampton
University who anticipates graduating in 2005. His portfolio booklet
was one of the best submitted. It is unfortunate that he could not
be considered for an award. His ability to present his ideas will
make him a great designer and a notable member of the architectural
community.
Albert O. Halse Memorial Scholarship
Award.
This award is given to undergraduate students for excellence in architectural
delineation and/or architectural models. Jason Zawitkowski is the
2003 recipient for the Albert O. Halse Memorial Scholarship Award.
He is currently an undergraduate Industrial Design Student whose graduate
degree will be in Architecture. Jason anticipates graduating in 2007.
His innovation and passion for design will drive him to be a creative
force within the architecture community.
Architects League Scholastic Achievement Award
This award is given to undergraduate students for scholastic excellence
in architectural design. Arianna Sacks is the 2003 recipient for the
Architects League Scholastic Achievement Award because of her scholastic
excellence in architectural design. She is a student at Cornell University
who is on the Dean's List. Arianna anticipates graduating in 2005.
She has valuable Power Point presentation skills and 3-D capabilities.
She has exhibited herself as a well-rounded young architect that will
one day be a valuable asset to the architecture community.
