With the help of the AIA Component Matching Scholarship Grant Award and the proceeds from the AIA Columbus Golf Outing, we were able to donate $8,000 to the Knowlton School Office Associateship Program. We are excited to learn that the organization is paired with Claire O’Verko. Claire is a G3 student at the Knowlton School, where she also earned her bachelor’s degree. She had the opportunity to intern at CBLH Design in Cleveland for two summers and is currently working as an intern at Berardi Partners in Columbus. In addition to her internships, she works as a Graduate Teaching Associate at the Knowlton School. Outside of her academic and professional life, she loves to travel, read, and spend time with friends.

In early 2025, AIA Columbus will also donate to Columbus State Community College. The scholarship will go to a student enrolled in architecture classes.
