LAF: Fellowship for Innovation + Leadership

Hey landscape architects! What’s your big idea?

Applications are open 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 May/June 2027 to May/June 2028 with 3-4 fellowships awarded through a competitive application process based on a proposed project.
