The New York Chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA-NY) established this scholarship to support future leaders who will strive to make living in urban environments more equitable, healthier and enjoyable. ASLA-NY encompasses the five boroughs of New York City, Nassau and Suffolk counties on Long Island, and Westchester, Putnam, Dutchess, Orange and Rockland counties. The award is open to currently-enrolled undergraduate or master's students studying landscape architecture at Landscape Architecture Accreditation Board (LAAB) accredited programs in the United States. To be eligible, the applicant's university must be within the ASLA-NY Chapter boundary, or the applicant must be a permanent resident of the Chapter boundary, or must have graduated from a high school within the ASLA-NY Chapter boundary. At this time, the only accredited program in the ASLA-NY Chapter boundary is the City College of New York's Master of Landscape Architecture program. Applicants must have a minimum "B" grade point average. Candidates must demonstrate a commitment to and interest in equitable design of the public realm. Applicants must submit Proof of Residency or High School within ASLA-NY Boundary, which may be a copy of their current New York driver license or identification card, high school diploma, high school transcript, signed letter from an administrator, college enrollment papers, or other proof of being a permanent resident or having graduated from a high school within the ASLA-NY Chapter boundary. Two letters of recommendation, which should address the applicant's dedication to equitable design of the public realm, are also required. Applicants must also submit three work samples in one PDF document. Each should include explanatory text describing the project. If it was a group project, applicants must state this and describe their role. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the Landscape Architecture Foundation for more information.
