The Adams Design Group, LLC

Hello Everyone,

As many of you know, I am an architect with 36 years of experience, having been licensed for 32 years. I have successfully owned my firm for the past 16 years. Since graduating from Howard University, I have wanted to establish a scholarship fund to support aspiring architectural students in pursuing their undergraduate degrees.

Last October, I was fortunate to establish the Derrick A. Adams Excellence in Architecture Scholarship at the Howard University School of Engineering and Architecture.

In celebration of my upcoming 60th birthday, I am launching a giving campaign to fund this scholarship. I kindly request your support for this worthy endeavor. Currently, only 2% of registered architects in the American Institute of Architects are African American. This scholarship aims to help these aspiring students reach graduation and fulfill their path to licensure.

Thank you for your consideration and support of this noble cause.
