Established in memory of celebrated landscape architect, visionary designer, and Landscape Forms Board Member Shane Coen, FASLA, this scholarship honors Shane's lifelong commitment to connecting people with nature and one another through thoughtful, inclusive, and diverse design. This award reflects Landscape Forms' enduring belief that diversity in thought, experience, and identity leads to richer, more human-centered design. The scholarship celebrates Shane's legacy of empathy, creativity, and environmental stewardship by supporting Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) students pursuing undergraduate degrees in landscape architecture. The Landscape Forms Shane Coen Scholarship for Diversity in Design is open to BIPOC students currently enrolled in LAAB- or LAAC-accredited programs in the U.S. or Canada who demonstrate financial need, academic achievement, and a commitment to advancing the discipline of landscape architecture. To be eligible, applicants cannot currently be in their final year of study. 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 one letter of recommendation from a professor, which should speak to the applicant's commitment to the program and potential for impact on the landscape architecture discipline. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the Landscape Architecture Foundation for more information.
