Established in 1995 to honor the memory of James L. Noland, the Noland Scholarship is awarded every four years to a graduate student who is doing research on masonry. This research can be in materials, structures, architecture or construction and must be performed under the direction of a member of The Masonry Society.

The current value of the scholarship is $3,000 US.

The Masonry Society (TMS) is accepting applications for the 2011 James L. Noland Student Fellowship until April 16, 2011 (see Rules for additional requirements for the applicants).
