Date: 6/18/2025 - 9/15/2025
Description:
The Landscape Architecture Foundation (LAF) is now accepting applications for the next cycle of the LAF Fellowship for Innovation and Leadership. This $25,000 yearlong fellowship is a unique opportunity for mid-career and senior-level landscape architects to explore, research, develop, and test big ideas that will bring about positive change and expand the impact of the landscape architecture discipline. Participation also cultivates transformational leadership and intergenerational mentorship.
The next cohort will run from June 2026 to June 2027 with 3-4 fellowships awarded through a competitive application process based on a proposed project. Over the course of the fellowship year, selected Fellows dedicate approximately 3-months’ time to their proposed project and participate in three 2.5-day residencies in Washington, DC, as well as monthly video calls.
Application materials are due September 15.
