About the Event

Since its inception in 1955, the New York Post Scholarship Fund has provided more than $6 million in scholarships to nearly 6,000 engineering and architecture students.

The annual Fletcher H. “Bud” Griffis Scholarship Fund Dinner once benefits the S.A.M.E. NY Post Scholarship Fund and enables the program to continue to make a difference for youth in our profession.

Last year, due to our donors’ generous giving, we distributed more than 200 scholarships to students from 75 colleges and universities throughout the U.S.–investing in the education and training of aspiring architects and engineers eager to shape our built environment for generations to come.
