The American Institute of Architects (AIA) Maui has awarded two $5,000 Architectural scholarships in 2025. Lahainaluna High School graduate, Jake McGilI, will begin this fall at Montana State University. Second awardee, Mico Corpuz, also a Lahainaluna graduate will be starting his third year in the University of Hawaii Manoa Architectural program.
AIA Maui Scholarship recipients must be Maui residents and must be enrolled in a School of Architecture. Scholarships are awarded on the basis of scholastic ability, extra-curricular activities, dedication to the field of Architecture, and need. Scholarship funds were donated by the National AIA Component Services, Hawaii Architectural Foundation, and AIA Maui members.
