LACF Indigenous Scholarship in Landscape Architecture

About this award

Apply by November 1 or February 1 for an annual award for Indigenous students in accredited landscape architecture programs.

The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact Landscape Architecture Canada Foundation (LACF — the national charitable organization that funds landscape architecture research and students) to confirm the value for your specific award before you apply. As a scholarship, this money is yours to keep and you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are an Indigenous student pursuing a career in designing outdoor spaces and environments. You have two application deadlines: November 1 and February 1. When you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back — whether it is by email, a portal, or phone. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Landscape Architecture Canada Foundation how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Landscape Architecture Canada Foundation during your application how the money will reach you — some awards pay students directly, others apply funds to tuition. Confirm this so you can plan your cash flow. Renewal conditions aren't listed — if you're counting on this for multiple years, confirm with Landscape Architecture Canada Foundation whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
