PASADENA COMMUNITY COLLEGE FOUNDATION SCHOLARSHIP

The PBWS Architects/Harlan Pedersen Scholarship for Architectural Education at Pasadena City College is now in its third year. This scholarship recognizes and rewards student success in the study of architecture as a steppingstone to a professional career. It also encourages cultural awareness of architecture among all students of the College, requiring enrollment in at least one Architecture class.

The scholarship honors PBWS Architects’ founder, Harlan Pedersen. Now retired, Harlan mentored many aspiring architects and established the environment of warmth and integrity that endures at the firm today.

Recipients for 2020 were Mario Avendando and Gabriel Masinas. Both are enrolled in the Architecture program at PCC. We commend them both for their hard work and dedication, and wish them all the best as they continue their educational journey!
