Congratulations to our 2022 scholarship winners!
LAF awarded a total of $167,000 to 27 outstanding students for its 2022 scholarship season. The scholarships support the next generation of designers by rewarding superior student performance, supporting access and diversity, supporting original research, and assisting students with unmet financial need.
LAF congratulates all of the 2022 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.
These scholarships are made possible through funds established by generous sponsors. If you are interested in creating a scholarship through LAF, contact Valerie Carter at vcarter@lafoundation.org.
