Master of Landscape Architecture Program 50th Anniversary Student Recruitment Scholarship
The Department of Landscape Architecture is delighted to announce the establishment of a new entrance scholarship to commemorate 50 years of learning and teaching landscape architecture in Manitoba.
The University of Manitoba’s Master of Landscape Architecture program celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2022. During the academic year 2022-2023, various festive events occurred, including fundraising for a new recruitment scholarship.
Since then, we have achieved our first fundraising milestone, $25,000, which will establish the endowment fund and launch the Master of Landscape Architecture Program 50th Anniversary Student Recruitment Scholarship in 2025.
About the Importance of the New Entrance Scholarship
With this growing fund, we will annually support an incoming graduate student enrolled in the Master of Landscape Architecture program with a Bachelor of Environmental Design (Landscape + Urbanism option) offered through the Faculty of Architecture at the University of Manitoba. This will improve our ability to recruit and retain talent in Manitoba, strengthening the generations of landscape architects and designers year by year.
Scholarship Eligibility Criteria
To be considered for the Master of Landscape Architecture Program 50th Anniversary Student Recruitment Scholarship, candidates must meet the following criteria:
- are enrolled full-time in the first year of study in the Faculty of Graduate Studies in the Master of Landscape Architecture program at the University of Manitoba;
