With everyone¡¯s support, we¡¯re on the verge of reaching our ambitious $1M goal ¡ª and we need every Fellow to step up to help us cross the finish line.
If each fellow gives just $357, we¡¯ll hit our goal and open the door for more deserving students to pursue their education in landscape architecture. There¡¯s still time to make your impact.
? One-time gift: $357
? Monthly option: $30 for one year
In general, fellows are encouraged to meet the Challenge Level of $1,000, payable over three years. Whether you make a one-time gift or a multi-year commitment, your contribution moves us closer to the finish line.
And if you can¡¯t give at those levels right now ¡ª that¡¯s okay. Every gift, no matter the amount, helps move us closer to our goal.
The Council of Fellows scholarship program was founded in 2004 to:
- aid outstanding students who would not otherwise have an opportunity to continue a professional degree program due to unmet financial need;
- increase the interest and participation of economically disadvantaged and under-represented populations in the study of landscape architecture; and
- enrich the profession of landscape architecture through a more diverse population.
Since the scholarship program¡¯s inception, the Council has awarded thirty-six students from over twenty programs across the country. The students have had the opportunity to attend the annual conference where they have networked with members, attended education sessions and special events such as the award ceremonies and the investiture dinner. The students regularly attend the Fellows business meeting where they receive their certificates.
The Council passed a fundraising goal of $1 million dollars for the scholarship fund with no time limit. The Council offers three $5,000 scholarships and one $10,000 scholarship. As funds allow, more scholarships will be offered.
All gifts and pledges in any amount are welcome and will help us with this important program. The Council of Fellows has adopted a Challenge Level of $1,000 payable over three years. All Fellows of the Society are encouraged to contribute at the Challenge Level or above if they are able to do so. Your financial support of the scholarship program is essential to meet our goal and ensure we provide the next generation with the funds they need to continue their education. Please pledge now to help us meet our target. Pledges may be fulfilled over a three-year period.
