The Landscape Architecture Foundation (LAF) has awarded $174,000 to 28 outstanding students for its 2024 scholarship season.

LAF 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. The awards are made possible through funds established by generous sponsors.


2024 Scholarship Recipients

Selection of 2024 winners is ongoing through a competitive process by sponsor- and LAF-convened juries made up of leaders in landscape architecture practice, academia, and industry. As each scholarship jury makes their selections, winners will be added to this page.
