Come Celebrate our 2022 Scholarship Recipients
LACF is hosting our annual scholars recognition event on February 11, 2022 from 2-3 pm ET. Join us via Zoom to learn more about each scholar and their achievements.
LACF Is Asking You to Invest in the Next Generation
Did you know that in 1980, my yearly tuition was $1,000? Forty-one years later, students are spending on average $10,000 (for the BLA) and $6,000 (for the MLA), in addition to all the other schooling costs. You can help support students by donating to the LACF Frederick Gage Todd National Scholarship to support exceptional students like Kendra Scanlon, recipient of the 2021 Frederick Gage Todd National Scholarship. LACF scholarships have a very real impact on the next generation of landscape architects. Let’s support them by donating to the LACF scholarship programs.
Support the future of our profession.
- Eha Naylor, LACF President
