Congratulations to Our 2022 Scholarship Winners!
The Landscape Architecture Foundation (LAF) has awarded a total of $167,000 to 27 outstanding students for its 2022 scholarship season.
The 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.
LAF congratulates all of our 2022 winners, who were selected through a competitive process by sponsor- and LAF-convened juries made up of leaders in landscape architecture practice, academia, and industry.
