TMS creates new
Clayford T. Grimm, P.E. Scholarship with family
First Award targeted at Master's Student to be given
October, 2008
At
the November 2007 meetings, The Masonry Society’s Board
of Directors approved a recommendation from the Awards
Committee to establish a Student Scholarship in memory
of Tom Grimm who was a Founding Member and an Honorary
Member of TMS, a noted author, teacher, and researcher,
and a friend and mentor to many. Tom passed away in 2003
after a lifetime of service and achievement to the
masonry industry.
This scholarship will be
available to master’s degree students performing
research in the field of masonry under the direction of
a TMS Member. TMS is now accepting applications for a
2008 Scholarship, which will be presented on October
18 at TMS's Annual Meeting. Click

The family of Mr. Grimm and
The Masonry Society is hoping to be able to present this
award annually if sufficient donations are contributed
to fund the award with earned interest. As such, if you
wish to make a contribution to the fund, please send a
check to The Masonry Society with a designation that
your gift is for the Scholarship.
