Landscape Architecture Canada Foundation · National
LACF Indigenous Scholarship in Landscape Architecture
About this award
Apply by November 1 or February 1 for an annual scholarship for Indigenous students studying landscape architecture at select Canadian universities. Apply through Indspire's central Building Brighter Futures program — one application covers all sponsor pools.
The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact Landscape Architecture Canada Foundation to confirm the value for your specific award before you apply. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so 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 deadlines to choose from: November 1 and February 1. When you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back — email, 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. How to apply: This funding is administered through Indspire's Building Brighter Futures Bursaries & Scholarships program. Students complete one central application that's evaluated against all 360+ of Indspire's funding pools (including this one) — you don't apply to the sponsor directly. The Apply button on this page routes to Indspire's portal automatically. For the full program description, all three application deadlines, and detailed eligibility, see Indspire Building Brighter Futures Bursaries & Scholarships on FundMyCourse.
