Thank You to Our 2024 Scholarship Jurors
In 2024, the Landscape Architecture Foundation (LAF) awarded $174,000 to 28 students through 16 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 nine 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!
