The R. Corey Clayborne, FAIA Scholarship
R. Corey Clayborne, FAIA was in the inaugural Emerging Leaders in Architecture (ELA) class of 2009. Corey has served at local and state AIA components and now is the AIA Senior Vice President, Knowledge & Practice. Corey strongly believes in increasing diversity in the profession and offering opportunities for all to gain knowledge and advancement in their careers.
In 2022, AIA Virginia established a scholarship in Corey’s name to honor his dedication to emerging professionals and provide financial assistance to those interested in participating in the ELA program.
The R. Corey Clayborne, FAIA ELA Scholarship is available to any ELA applicant with financial need, either to cover tuition or travel expenses for their class year.
Helene Combs Dreiling FAIA Fellowship
The Helene Combs Dreiling, FAIA Fellowship was established to honor the service and accomplishments of Helene Combs Dreiling, FAIA by providing emerging professionals with opportunities to learn and grow through engagement with AIA events and programs. In recognition that such engagement benefits both the individual and the organization, and also that the cost of attending these events often discourages participation.
