The Diana Donald Scholarship
In honor of the late Diana Donald, the Connecticut Chapter of the American Planning Association is pleased to
announce the availability of this $1,000 scholarship. Diana Donald, who passed away in 1975, was a
Connecticut-based planner who was recognized nationally for her contributions to the profession. At the time of
her passing, at age 40, she was the First Vice President of the American Institute of Planners and was in line to
