Five architecture students receive the 2023 RIBA Wren Insurance Association Scholarship

The Royal Institute of British Architects has picked its slate of winners for the 2023 RIBA Wren Insurance Association Scholarship competition.

The scholarships, which this year total £37,500 ($47,600 USD), were awarded to current Part 2 students from around the UK. Candidates were selected based on their potential contributions to architecture and personal journeys into the professional world, as demonstrated by their academic and non-academic achievements to date.

“Our scholarships provide fundamental support in helping architecture students achieve their aspirations,” RIBA President Muyiwa Oki said in a statement. “I look forward to seeing how their work impacts the architecture profession and the built environment.”

This year's recipients are: 

• Henry Aldridge — University of Cambridge
• Maciej Aleksander Adaszewski — The Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London
• Jeanette Aves — Oxford Brookes University
• Rowdah Charbak — Manchester School of Architecture
• Alfie Hollington — University of Strathclyde

Each will receive £7,500 ($9,500 USD) and the opportunity to be mentored by an architect member of the Wren Insurance Association, which is the competition's sponsor.
