Jason Pettigrew ARE Scholarship Award

The AIA/NAC Jason Pettigrew ARE Scholarhip - Call for Nominations
Each year since 1949, The American Institute of Architects has celebrated outstanding dedication to the profession of architecture through the Institute Awards program. Upon the inception of the National Associates Committee (NAC) in October 2000, the committee had launched an awards program to recognize Associate members on a national level for their accomplishments through the year. It is therefore with great excitement that we are now offering an ARE scholarship award.

Jason Pettigrew ARE Scholarship Award
In recognition of his contributions to internship and licensure, and the profession–including his own pursuit of the ARE-the NAC is has established a national ARE scholarship in honor of Jason Pettigrew, Assoc. AIA. The purpose of the award is to recognize the significant contributions of interns at an early stage of their career, and to help encourage them to complete their licensure by helping with the cost of the exam. Awards are not based on financial need, as much as they are based on contributions the intern has made to their profession and/or their community. We are also pleased to have Kaplan as a key sponsor of this award program.

Award Details:
- Kaplan ARE Study Guides
- Reimbursement for the cost of passing all divisions of the Architect Registration Exam one time* (due to the transition from ARE 3.1 to 4.0, this cost will vary between $1,071 for 3.1 candidates or $1,190 for 4.0 candidates).

Intern Architect vs. Architect

What’s in a Name?

by Daryl L. Bray, AIA
IDP State Coordinator, Oklahoma

Summary: How many times have you seen the term “Intern Architect” used by employers, employees, AIA components, or NCARB? Did you know that this term is not legally defined or allowed in almost half of the states? Many articles have been written on the subject suggesting that it is time to institute an industry-wide title change. Among them is an article entitled, “Let Them be Architects,” by Erin Nunes Cooper, AIA, in the December 8, 2006, AIArchitect. Cooper states: “Professionals on the path to licensure can and do make real contributions to the field of architecture.”
