ACBA Honors Award
The annual ACBA Honors Award was created in 2017 as the result of the Board of Trustees’ challenge to establish ACBA as a national thought leader in the building arts and preservation fields. Today, the event is the College’s largest fundraising event in support of student scholarships and academic programs. Thanks to those who supported this event, ACBA was able to award nearly $300,000 in scholarships in Academic Year 2025-2026.
On February 18, 2027, we will be honoring the Richard Hampton Jenrette Foundation for their excellence in Historic Preservation. The Richard Hampton Jenrette Foundation is dedicated to advancing education, innovation, and responsible stewardship in historic preservation, decorative arts, and historic landscapes. Founded in 1993 by American businessman and philanthropist Richard Hampton Jenrette as the Classical American Homes Preservation Trust (CAHPT), the Jenrette Foundation today works to preserve, protect, and promote public engagement and exemplify stewardship through its grants, education programs, and properties showing the finest architecture, landscape design, and fine and decorative arts of the 19th century.
