It awards $5,000 to a student pursuing a college degree in Architecture, and the recipient then joins SEA firm for a summer internship. (Learn more on the Scott Edwards Architecture website.)

​"The Kelley J Edward Scholarship helped alleviate my financial stresses of paying my way through college and opened doors for me to be an active participant in various project teams. As an Intern at Scott Edwards Architecture (SEA), I was able to work with teams from different market sectors, attend meetings, follow along in site visits, and be mentored by so many inspiring people. My experience at SEA further shaped me to be a curious, thoughtful, and passionate designer who puts people first."
