Description

The LAF Honor Scholarship for Inclusive Community Design was established in 2018 by Patrick Phillips, a visionary and leader in the responsible use, design, and transformation of land to support thriving and inclusive communities worldwide. Patrick believes that landscape architects can play an important and distinctive role in the creation of cities and neighborhoods that are safe, healthful, economically productive, and beautiful. Eligible applicants are landscape architecture students currently enrolled in an LAAB- or LAAC- accredited master's degree program at a university in the U.S. or Canada. Applicants should show commitment to underserved urban communities and addressing community-scale design issues. Preference is given to candidates interested in pursuing a career in the non-profit or public sector. Candidates will be evaluated based on their academic performance and demonstrated commitment and/or leadership in inclusive community design. Financial need will also be considered. Applicants must submit a bio for the LAF Website in PDF, Microsoft Word, or TXT format, wherein they describe their background, current educational pursuits, future plans, and any other personal interests or activities. Applicants must also submit two letters of recommendation, which should specifically address the candidate's exemplary qualities and commitment to underserved urban communities and addressing community-scale design issues. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the Landscape Architecture Foundation for more information.
