Congratulations to Our 2019 Scholarship Winners!
The Landscape Architecture Foundation (LAF) has awarded a total of $84,000 to 14 outstanding students for its 2019 scholarship season.
The scholarships and fellowships support the next generation of designers by rewarding superior student performance, encouraging diversity, supporting original research, and assisting students with unmet financial need. The awards are made possible through funds established by generous sponsors.
LAF congratulates all of our 2019 winners, who were selected through a competitive process by sponsor- and LAF-convened juries made up of leaders in landscape architecture practice, academia, and industry.
