The scholarship fund has been jointly established by <a href="https://archinect.com/news/article/150314629/adjaye-may-be-asked-to-repay-national-cathedral-fees-as-ghanaian-political-campaign-turns-ugly" target="_blank">Yale School of Architecture</a> and the <a href="https://archinect.com/CUArch" target="_blank">Catholic University of America</a>.</p>
<p>Born in Uganda in 1976, Adengo received her B.Arch from Catholic University in 2000 before entering Yale and graduating with an M.Arch in 2005. From there, she went on to found her own eponymous practice (<a href="https://archinect.com/firms/cover/150336778/adengo-architecture" target="_blank">Adengo Architecture</a>) after ten years of working in offices in New York, Washington, D.C., and London.<br></p>
<p>Adengo left behind a legacy of achievement in both urbanism and architecture that helped greatly influence the development of contemporary architecture and urban design strategies while earning her the reputation and status of a role model for young practitioners.</p>
