The Diana Donald Scholarship
In honor of the late Diana Donald, the Connecticut Chapter of the American Planning Association is pleased to announce the availability of a $2,350 scholarship, with $2,000 provided by CCAPA, and $350 donated by Fitzgerald and Halliday in memory of Bruce Hoben.
Diana Donald, who passed away in 1975, was a Connecticut-based planner who was recognized nationally for her contributions to the profession. At the time of her passing, at age 40, she was the First Vice President of the American Institute of Planners and was in line to become President. Her status in the association set an historical precedent for women in planning.

- The student shall demonstrate the ability to work effectively as part of a group and/or the public.
