The Sir Richard Morrison Student Excellence Awards
The Sir Richard Morrison Scholarship Scheme was established by Lieutenant Colonel Charles Colquhoun Morrison who bequeath a sum of money ‘to provide scholarships for students of Architecture’ in memory of his relation, Sir Richard Morrison. The scholarships were awarded to students of proven engagement and academic excellence and ran for a final time in June 2019.
To mark the end of the Sir Richard Morrison Scholarship Scheme in 2021, the Dublin School of Architecture will award a 500 euro Prize for Student Excellence to a student in each year of the architecture and architectural technology programmes. Each prize will be awarded with regard to academic performance combined with a record of engagement based on the judgment of the year team. These prizes will be called the Morrison Student Excellence Prize in recognition of Sir Richard Morrison Scholarship Scheme.
Sir Richard Morrison Student Excellence Awards 2021-22
Dublin School of Architecture (DSA) has existed for ten years in its current form. On September 1st 2022 it will be replaced by the School of Architecture Building & Environment. To celebrate the academic life of DSA, the remaining funds in the Sir Richard Morrison Scholarship have been used to award a prize to an excellent student of each programme that has been taught during the School's time. Where a programme had closed in that time the award is to a notable graduate, otherwise it is generally an exemplary final year student of each programme. The programmes' names reflect the diversity and quality of the educational mission of Dublin School of Architecture at apprenticeship, undergraduate and postgraduate levels. Congratulations to all our prize winners!
