Congratulations to our 2025 scholarship winners!
LAF awarded a total of $165,000 to 26 outstanding students for our 2024-25 scholarship season. Winners are chosen through a competitive process by leaders in landscape architecture practice, academia, and industry. Thank you to our jurors!
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. These awards are made possible through funds established by generous sponsors.
In November, LAF will announce the scholarships available for the 2025-26 academic year and begin accepting applications. Applications are due February 1, and winners are notified and announced throughout the spring.
Each year, the Landscape Architecture Foundation (LAF) offers more than $150,000 through 15+ different scholarships.
LAF scholarships help diversify the pool of talent and increase academic opportunity for new generations of designers. These awards are made possible through funds established by our generous sponsors.
Each academic year, available scholarships are announced in the fall with all applications material due February 1. Eligible candidates are undergraduate or graduate students enrolled at colleges and universities in the U.S. and Canada. Additional requirements vary by scholarship.
The average student debt load for landscape architecture graduates is $34,000.
To date, the Landscape Architecture Foundation has awarded $1.9 million in sponsored scholarships to over 650 students.
Jia Hu is the 2024 recipient of the $20,000 LAF Honor Scholarship in Memory of Joe Lalli, FASLA.
