1st Financial Bank USA wants to celebrate those who recognize the importance of pursuing educational and financial goals with the 1st Financial Bank USA Financial Goals Scholarship.
The ASLA Council of Fellows Scholarships was established by the ASLA Council of Fellows in 2004 to: (1) aid outstanding students who would not otherwise have an opportunity to continue a professional degree program due to unmet financial need; (2) increase the interest and participation of economically disadvantaged and under-represented populations in the study of landscape architecture; and (3) enrich the profession of landscape architecture through a more diverse population. One $10,000 scholarship and up to three to four $5,000 runner-up scholarships are awarded each year to promising students, with priority given to students of underrepresented populations and/or with financial need. Geographic distribution of the applicant pool will also be considered. Eligible applicants must be students who are enrolled in their second, third, fourth, or fifth year of an undergraduate Landscape Architecture Accreditation Board (LAAB) accredited program of landscape architecture. Applicants must submit a bio for the LAF website in PDF, Microsoft Word, or TXT format, wherein they describe their background, current educational pursuits, future plans, and any other personal interests or activities. Applicants must also submit two letters of recommendation. One letter must come from a faculty member; the other letter may be sent by another faculty member or a non-academic member of ASLA. The letters should specifically address the applicant's merit as a student of landscape architecture. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the Landscape Architecture Foundation for more information.
