The WxLA 2024 Scholarship

We are thrilled to announce the launch of the WxLA 2024 Scholarship. The purpose of this award is to aid in the professional development and success of emerging and mid-career leaders in our profession by covering the costs associated with attendance at the Conference on Landscape Architecture in Minneapolis. Students are not eligible.

Over the past five years, we sent 44 WxLA Scholars to the annual Conference on Landscape Architecture! Read more about past WxLA Scholars below.

The 2024 Conference on Landscape Architecture will offer more than 100 educational opportunities, allowing attendees to fulfill their professional development requirements in four days (October 6-9).
