Women’s Council Awards First Annual ‘Strategies for Success’ Scholarships

The first recipients of the NAHB Women’s Council/National Housing Endowment “Strategies for Success” Scholarship have been announced.

Designed to encourage young people to further their education in housing-related programs, the scholarships are awarded annually to deserving students pursuing study in programs such as construction management, building, construction technology, civil engineering, architecture, design or a construction trade at a two- or four-year college or university or vocational program.

Students receive up to $2,000, which they can use to pay for tuition, fees and books.

The scholarships were awarded to Kristine Phelps, an architecture student at the University of Utah; Scott Templeton, a construction management major at Indiana State University; and Mihaela Zagoni, a construction management student at the University of Washington.

“Although we had many excellent entries, Kristine, Scott and Mihaela truly stood out thanks to their exceptional commitment to both the home building industry and their academic careers,” said NAHB Women’s Council Chair Joanne Theunissen, a builder from Mount Pleasant, MI.

“We’re pleased to be able to help these three outstanding individuals further their education, and are confident that each of them will make significant contributions to the field of residential construction.”

The NAHB Women’s Council represents women in the home building industry. The council’s services include publications, networking and scholarships.

The “Strategies for Success” Scholarship Fund is supported through the generosity of Women’s Council members and individuals and corporations who wish to contribute, and administered in partnership with the National Housing Endowment.
