2025 KMF STUDENT SCHOLARSHIP
2025 KATHRYN MARIE FIRNEIS MEMORIAL STUDENT SCHOLARSHIP AWARD
From R to L: Asaf Yogev, Kathryn Marie Firneis, Octavio Santurio at the 2019 SARA NY Design Awards
The Kathryn Marie Firneis Memorial Student Scholarship for Excellence in Design is in honor of our friend and honorary SARA member Kathy Firneis, beloved wife of our former treasurer and national past president Robert Firneis, and mother of Kyle and Bryan. Kathy loved being involved with SARA and was truly dedicated to the organization and its mission, showing outstanding support to our student participants. Kathy loved connecting architecture students to the vast network of SARA architects. She made sure to introduce every student award winner to as many attending architects and winners as she could to make sure that they could follow up for employment and mentorship. To honor Kathy’s amazing dedication and spirit of paying it forward, we present this scholarship to the top Student Design Award of Excellence annually at the SARA NY Design Awards.
