The AMDG scholarship at Calvin College is given annually by the firm to a student in their second, third or fourth year in the Pre-Architecture program and demonstrating interest in pursuing a career in architecture. This scholarship is based on financial need with preference given to ethnic minority or international students, women and/or non-Christian Reformed Church members. In accepting this award, the recipient is encouraged to make contributions to this endowed fund or to Calvin College in later years as he or she is financially able, thus enabling future students to receive scholarship assistance. AMDG has sponsored this scholarship since 2000, and four different students have received this award since its inception.
