Donovan Memorial Scholarship assists Bucks County high school graduates (graduating seniors) interested in furthering their education in architecture and related fields.

In his retirement\, Mr. Donovan was a prolific watercolor artist who displayed his work in the former Upstairs Gallery at Peddler’s Village. Over the years\, Mr. Donovan and the firm that is part of his legacy\, Phillips & Donovan Architects\, LLC\, have been instrumental in the planning and design of many of the buildings in Peddler’s Village.
