For the 2020 year, the AIA Matching Component Grant Program has altered their schedule and will not be awarding funds in the spring for use the following fall term but instead awarding funds in the fall for use that very same fall term. For AIA Northern Nevada, this impacts our financial liability to our scholarships since, in previous years, our success in receiving this grant was known before selecting our recipients. For future years, including this one, we will not know if we will receive a grant until after choosing our recipients and determining the award amounts. 2. For the 2020 year, the AIAMatching Component Grant Programhas added $500.00 on top of the original $1,000.00 available as long as the recipient of this new $500.00 award is a Community College student. I have applied for these funds in 2020 but having no applicants fromTMCC this year. Should AIANorthern Nevada receive this, the Scholarship Committee will need to work with Kreg Mebust at TMCC to conduct a special review and selection for this inaugural year. 3. Beginning with our Golf Committee and our Scholarship Committee, conversations have been coalescing around the future prospects of creating a scholarship for underprivileged youth, helping provide access to collegiate pathways in architectural study. This program would complement our current Erskine and Hellmann Scholarships who’s selection is made almost exclusively with respect to merit. It would be targeted to underprivileged high school seniors wishing to pursue the TMCC Architectural Design Program or another architectural study program. In addition to these local conversations, on 7/9/2020, the AIA Nevada Board met to discuss a potential partnership between AIANN and AIALV to build similar scholarship programs on each side of our state focused on under-represented groups of youth. A motion was made as follows: “AIANevada will establish an annual Scholarship for high school seniors, with the primary purpose being to provide greater opportunities to those who aremembers of underrepresented groups in the State of Nevada and assist them in furthering their education in the field of architecture and design. Initial funding for this scholarshipwill be provided by AIANevada in the amount of $5,000.” This was seconded by Nate Hudson, AIA, and approved by the Ex Com members’ unanimous vote. While details are still being worked out, I will report to our local Board as more information is generated. Thank you again for supporting the scholarship program. Please let me know if you have any questions. b Sincerely, Nate Hudson, AIA 2020 President, Scholarship Committee Chair, AIANN  — continued from page 19
