Jason Pettigrew ARE Scholarship Award
In recognition of his contributions to internship and licensure, and the profession–including his own pursuit of the ARE-the NAC is has established a national ARE scholarship in honor of
Jason Pettigrew, Assoc. AIA. The purpose of the award is to recognize the significant contributions of interns at an early stage of their career, and to help encourage them to complete their licensure by helping with the cost of the exam. Awards are not based on financial need, as much as they are based on contributions the intern has made to their profession and/or their community. We are also pleased to have Kaplan as a key sponsor of this award program.

AWARD DETAILS
Scholarship recipients will receive:
Full Set of Kaplan ARE Study Guides;
$1,061* (current cost of the ARE)
