COVID-19: LAF staff are teleworking and our programs continue uninterrupted.

Issues
Climate change, rapid urbanization, species extinction, and inequity make the need for sustainable landscape solutions greater than ever.
Together we can transform our world through design
LAF works to increase the capacity, influence, and impact of landscape architects to create a more sustainable, just, and resilient future.
For over 50 years, LAF has been identifying priorities and strengthening the discipline to meet weighty environmental, social, and economic challenges. We believe in the power of design to create a healthier, more equitable, and sustainable world.

The charge is serious. The charge is urgent. The moment is now. Landscape architects have a vital role to play.

To date, LAF has awarded a total of $1.6 million to more than 600 students through our two scholarships programs.

With $160,000 available annually, LAF is a leading source of scholarships for landscape architecture students. These awards recognize leadership, reward superior student performance, support access and diversity, and assist students with unmet financial need.

Today, some 5,300 students are enrolled in landscape architecture programs. With the cost of higher education on the rise, financial support is vital to attract and retain quality students and to ease their debt burden so that they can focus on honing and using their unique talents. Through two programs, LAF offers students both financial assistance and the opportunity to connect with rising and established leaders in the discipline.

LAF is grateful to the many individuals and organizations that provide financial support towards fulfilling our mission to support the preservation, improvement, and enhancement of the environment.

Much of what LAF is able to accomplish would not be possible without the thought leadership and financial investment of our major supporters, including ASLA, which provides over $125,000 of in-kind support annually.
