Texas A&M College of Architecture students will have an opportunity to benefit from two recently endowed scholarships, one established by former student Arnoldo Robelo and one created by SpawMaxwell, a Houston-based corporation with a special interest in Texas A&M’s Department of Construction Science.
Arnoldo Robelo ’83 established the Arnoldo Robelo ’83 and David E. Baker ’83 Endowed Scholarship in the College of Architecture. Robelo and Baker, two of the first students of the college’s study abroad program, endowed the scholarship to help provide financial support for undergraduates with a double major in environmental design and construction science or comparable undergraduate degrees in the architecture and construction science departments.
Robelo, who has 27 years of experience in the construction industry, is the president of Paramount Drywall Inc., a Miami company. Paramount Drywall, established in 1985, employs more than 100 fulltime workers and specializes in residential communities, luxury homes, rental projects and mid-rise apartment buildings. The company also has experience with commercial construction projects, such as schools, and university and office buildings.
Houston’s SpawMaxwell has established the SpawMaxwell Endowed Scholarship. This endowment will used to provide one or more scholarships to full-time students in good standing who are pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Construction Science degree. Students must be Texas residents in their junior or senior year of study to be eligible for the scholarship.
SpawMaxwell provides construction services for corporate and healthcare projects as well as entertainment facilities, religious and educational buildings, public area renovations and structural repairs and modifications.
