Scholarship Fund
Please consider making a donation to the New York Upstate Chapter ASLA Scholarship Fund.
In 2010 the New York Upstate Chapter ASLA (NYU-ASLA) embarked on a Scholarship Program to bestow monetary awards to undergraduate students studying landscape architecture based on academic excellence and involvement with their student chapters of ASLA.
Our Chapter is dedicated to promoting the competencies and values of landscape architecture, and what better way than to encourage students who are already committed to our profession to continue their studies and support our organization’s future leaders.
The Scholarships will be awarded through nominations on applications with criteria established by each college’s Scholarship Committees, and then approved by the Executive Board. Amounts and number of Scholarships will be determined by the Chapter Executive Committee based upon recommendations of the Scholarship Committee and funds.
