The Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) writes:
\n<\/u>The Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) and the architects\u2019 professional indemnity insurance mutual, The Wren Insurance Association Limited (the Wren), have today announced the launch of the 2016 RIBA Wren Insurance Association Scholarships to support talented students during the final year of their RIBA Part 2.\u00a0<\/u><\/p>\n
This year\u2019s scholarships will be awarded at the start of the 2016\/17 academic session and will comprise five generous awards, each of \u00a35,000. The deadline for applications is Monday 9 May 2016.<\/p>\n
The RIBA Wren Insurance Association Scholarships were set up in 2013 by the Wren who decided to mark their 25th anniversary as PII mutual with a \u00a3125,000 commitment to help educate young architects of the future. The awards will be awarded annually to Part 2 students enrolled in RIBA-validated schools of architecture in the UK.<\/p>\n
RIBA President Jane Duncan said:\u00a0 \u2018I would like to thank the Wren Insurance Association for their commitment and generosity to this scheme. Now in its fourth year, we are able to see the difference that this scheme makes to winning recipients in propelling them forwards in their careers. I am excited to see which talented students secure the scholarships this year, and wish all applicants luck with their applications.\u2019<\/p>\n
Richard Pullen, Chairman of Wren, said:\u00a0 \u2018The impact of scholarships awarded over the past three years has well exceeded our expectations and we are anticipating even greater interest this fourth year as the Wren looks forward to helping a further five Part 2 students with this year\u2019s scholarships. Having helped each other for nearly 30 years, the Members of the Wren feel that it is appropriate to assist and encourage the next generation of talented architects who have the potential to make a significant contribution to the field of architecture. We are grateful to the RIBA for their support in the ongoing success of these scholarships.\u2019<\/p>\n
