K-STATE LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE STUDENT FROM MANHATTAN RECEIVES GOLF COURSE SCHOLARSHIP

MANHATTAN -- Daryn Soldan, graduate student in landscape architecture, Manhattan, is receiving a $1,000 Golf Course Builders Association of America scholarship for 2006-2007.

The Golf Course Builders Association of America Scholarship Program is a mentoring program that offers summer jobs and internships to college students who want a career in construction-related segments of the golf industry. Each year, it establishes scholarships at selected universities. The program is funded by the Golf Course Builders Association of America Foundation.

Candidates must have third-, fourth- or fifth-year class standing with a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or higher. All scholarships are for one year, but a student may reapply for a second-year award. The scholarship selection process was administered by the College of Architecture, Planning and Design's development staff with candidate guidance and input from the K-State landscape architecture faculty.

Soldan is a 1999 Manhattan High School graduate.
