To increase scholarship opportunities for students pursuing degrees in architecture, the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) announces their annual Wren Insurance Association Scholarships. 

This funding scheme, launched in 2013, has provided financial support to students in the final year of their Part 2 course. RIBA President Alan Jones expresses thanks to the Wren Insurance Association for their continued support. "Scholarships and bursaries are an important part of our ongoing commitment to support students and reward and retain talent in the profession, and we look forward to seeing the applications received." 

Since 2013, the scholarship has been awarded to 40 students. Each scholarship recipient receives £6,000 and a mentorship opportunity during the second year of their Part 2 course by an architect from a Wren-insured practice. 

Last year's Wren Insurance Scholarship winners were awarded to:

• Richard Aina - Architectural Association School of Architecture (completed RIBA Part 1 at The Bartlett School of Architecture)
