Thank You to Our 2021 Scholarship Jurors
In 2021, the Landscape Architecture Foundation (LAF) awarded over $125,000 to students through 15 different scholarships established by generous sponsors. The recipients are chosen through a competitive application and selection process. LAF convenes juries to decide the winners of seven awards.
We would like to sincerely thank everyone who served on a scholarship jury this year. The time and thoughtful review put forth by these jurors reflects their dedication to the profession, hope for the future, and commitment to supporting the next generation of designers!
