ASLA Council of Fellows Scholarships

Eligibility

ASLA Council of Fellows Scholarships, with an application deadline in February, offers 4 awards of $10000 each. Restricted to those with financial need.

Description

The ASLA Council of Fellows Scholarships was established to: 1) aid outstanding students who would not otherwise have an opportunity to continue a professional degree program due to unmet financial need; 2) increase the interest and participation of economically disadvantaged and under-represented populations in the study of landscape architecture; and 3) enrich the profession of landscape architecture through a more diverse population. One $10,000 scholarship and up to three $5,000 runner-up scholarships are awarded each year to promising students, with priority given to students of underrepresented populations and/or with financial need. The geographic distribution of the applicant pool will also be considered. Eligible applicants must be U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents who are enrolled in their second, third, fourth, or fifth year of an undergraduate Landscape Architecture Accreditation Board (LAAB) accredited program of landscape architecture. Two letters of recommendation are required, one letter must come from a faculty member; the other letter may be sent by another faculty member or a non-academic member of ASLA. The letters should specifically address your merit as a student of landscape architecture. Applicants from underrepresented populations should indicate their association with a specific ethnic or cultural group on the last question of the General Submission Form.
