Landscape Architecture Foundation Student Scholarships

About this scholarship

The Landscape Architecture Foundation Student Scholarships are a group of named awards for undergraduate and graduate students in landscape architecture programs in the United States and Canada. The official LAF page states that more than $150,000 is available for the 2025-2026 academic year through 16 scholarships, and that eligible candidates are enrolled at colleges and universities in the U.S. and Canada. The awards are recorded as partial funding because they are fixed scholarships rather than full tuition, housing, studio supplies, travel, software, or personal expense packages. Individual requirements vary by scholarship, including degree level, program accreditation, GPA, citizenship, design focus, or community-design commitments. LAF's 2026 eligibility table includes examples such as the LAF Honor Scholarship in Memory of Joe Lalli and the LAF Honor Scholarship for Inclusive Community Design, with $20,000, $10,000, and $5,000 award levels. Applications for all 2026 LAF student scholarships were due February 1, 2026.
