BOORA A rchitects has established a scholarship program at the
University of Oregon to provide financial assistance toaprom ising minority

up to five years to a minority student who both demonstrates promise in
architecture and has financial need in addition to the scholarship. BOORA
will offer the award recipient opportunity for summer em ploym ent during
at least one of the five years of schooling. W hile enrolled, the aw ardee may
also request an internship at the BOORA office.
“As one of O regon’s largest architecture firms, we feel that we have a
responsibility to serve future generations of architects in our state,” said
Dennis O ’Toole, AI A, Managing Partnerof B O O R A .“W echose to support
a minority student to reinforce our belief that the field of architecture should
encourage students from all ethnic and economic backgrounds.”
The BOORA Minority Student Scholarship, which will be awarded
first for the 1994-95 school year, will bcopen to minority students who have
cither applied to, or been admitted by, the Department o f Architecture at the

award on a year-to-year basis will be subject to successful completion of

“ this scholarship will be a very significant boost to minority students
who have demonstrated talent and com m itm ent to architecture, but who
might be prevented from pursuing their goals because of financial need,”
said Mike Utsey, Head of the Department o f Architecture at the University
o f O regon.”
Jerry V. Finrow, AIA, Dean o f the School o f Architecture and Allied
Arts, commented, “Gifts such as the BOORA Minority Scholarship help the

donations can have on our School and the education of students for the
future.”
O ’Toole added, “O ne o f the things BOORA looks forward to m ost is
the opportunity to establish long-term relationships with the scholarship
recipients. We hope that in addition to getting a fine education in architec­
ture at the University o f Oregon, students will have the chance to become
familiar with the hands-on realities of the field through association with our
office.”
