The 2024 AIA East Kentucky Scholarship (supported by matching grant funds from AIA National) was presented to a deserving student at the University of Kentucky’s College of Design. Meet 2024’s recipient below:
AIA East Kentucky Scholarship ($3,400) – Lydia Schneider
Lydia Schneider is currently a second-year architecture student in the College of Design at the University of Kentucky. She currently holds the officer position of secretary for the American Institute for Architecture Students. As a future designer Lydia wants to focus on the development of more equitable spaces. She wants people to be able to have a beautiful, yet accessible space to interact with. Having a parent with mobility issues, I have witnessed how most spaces/buildings are handicap accessible, but not necessarily handicap friendly. Through my studies in this program, I want to learn better ways for us to create a more favorable environment for everyone.
