2016 JACK SMITH KERXTON
MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP
The Jack Smith Kerxton Scholarship Fund was established in March 1994 by Barbara Kerxton, the Fund
Committee (various relatives, friends and business associates of Jack Smith Kerxton), and Torti Gallas and
Partners. The fund provides scholarships to students enrolled in the School of Architecture. Graduate
students who have completed the ARCH 600/611 course sequence are eligible.
The criteria for making an award shall be 1) good academic standing, 2) leadership and responsible
citizenship qualities, 3) any other criteria which may include financial need, as determined by the Awards
Committee. The Awards Committee also endeavors to make an award to a student who may be available
to accept a paid internship with Torti Gallas over the summer. Availability of the student to participate in the
internship may be a factor in making the award. However, the internship shall not be an absolute requirement
for making an award, especially in those instances where awards are made to more than one student during
any school year.
The Architecture Program Scholarship Committee will make a preliminary determination and advance at least
three nominees to the Kerxton Awards Committee. The Kerxton Awards Committee will consist of three
members, consisting of one representative each, from the Kerxton family, Torti Gallas and Partners, and the School
of Architecture. The Kerxton Awards Committee will interview each of the nominees prior to making a selection.
The approximate value of the Jack Smith Kerxton Scholarship is $5,500.00
