Architectural Fellowship

2009 Architect Fellowship Brochure

CSM recognizes the importance of architects in the construction industry. As a construction manager, CSM would like to give something back to our key partners, which is why we have created the CSM Architect Fellowship.

The CSM Architect Fellowship is a $2,000 grant that can be used for, but is not limited to, professional advancement in the field of architecture. Some examples may include: building envelope design, green technologies, primitive architecture or an opportunity to donate architectural services to a charitable organization such as Habitat for Humanity. The opportunities are endless with one goal in mind: grow your wealth of knowledge in the area you are most passionate about and share it with others.

The fellowship is open to both registered and non-registered architects. Applicants must submit a one page essay describing how he or she would use the grant money. The essay should include a cover page with the applicant’s name and contact information. Applications are due on October 16th, please send applications to architectfellowship@csmgroup.com.

The winner will be notified the week of October 26th, and the grant will be presented at CSM Group’s Employee Summit on Thursday, November 5th. The recipient of the grant will be asked to attend CSM’s 2009 Employee Summit and give a short presentation on how the award money was used.
