SSOE (Stevens & Wilkinson) Commemorates 100 Years with Clemson Scholarship

Initiative to support architecture and design students at Clemson University

COLUMBIA, South Carolina, March 29, 2019 – SSOE | S&W, a full-service architecture, engineering and interior design firm, announced the establishment of an architectural scholarship at Clemson University in commemoration of the S&W’s 100-year anniversary. The firm hopes the scholarship will ignite innovation in design by supporting architecture students at the South Carolina institution.

“Given the rising costs of higher education, we wanted to find a way to help develop the next generation of architects and lessen the financial burden of pursuing their dreams,” said Robby Aull, AIA, ACHA, LEED AP, principal, senior vice president and director of healthcare at SSOE | S&W. “By offering this scholarship, we hope to create opportunities for some of the brightest young minds in architecture who might not have had the chance to attend this great institution without monetary support.”

The scholarship was created with a commitment of $20,000 to be dispersed over the next five years. The purpose of the fund is to provide annual scholarships in the amount of $2,000 each to two students enrolled or planning to enroll in the architecture program at Clemson University. Many of SSOE | S&W’s architects and engineers are alumni of Clemson, including Aull himself.

“Celebrating our 100th Anniversary isn’t just about us, it’s about the work that we’ve done to shape the communities we call home,” said Aull. “Creating this scholarship is our way of ensuring that there will be more outstanding architects to lead both SSOE | S&W and the industry at-large into the future.”
