Please help us grow this fund to support our future planners!
Make a Difference to Landscape Architecture Students
The Garden X Graphite Scholarship Fund was established by LARP alumni at STIMSON Studio as the first scholarship for socioeconomically disadvantaged students studying landscape architecture at UMass Amherst. This scholarship's aim is to fund tuition for one in-state student annually. The student must be a socioeconomically disadvantaged student who shows a proficiency in horticulture and/or drawing. Plant knowledge and hand sketching are two fundamental cornerstones of our profession that are becoming less and less visible in academic training. We believe these are critical elements of landscape architecture education and practice that must continue to be taught and nurtured. Your support will help the department continue its efforts to remove barriers and build new bridges in landscape architecture.
Garden X Graphite recently reached its $200,000 goal! Thank you for making this achievement possible!
