Established in 2007 to honor the memory of Clayford T. Grimm, the Grimm Student Scholarship is awarded every year to a Master’s level graduate student who is conducting research in masonry. The investigation can be in masonry materials, structures, construction, or architecture and must be performed under the direction of a member of The Masonry Society.
