The Wisconsin Chapter ASLA is pleased to announce an essay scholarship contest for current UW-Madison Landscape Architecture sophomore and junior students (2nd and 3rd year students enrolled in the program).
Two $1,000 scholarships will be awarded: one to a current sophomore student and one current junior student enrolled in the UW-Landscape Architecture program.
Essay Questions
Choose a project from your portfolio and answer the following questions:
o What did you learn about the design process through this project?
o Why did you design your project the way you did — what was your process and rationale?
o How did your project protect the health, safety, and welfare of the public?
o What changes would you make to your design process for future projects?
Essay Rules
Entry is limited to current sophomore and junior students enrolled in the UW-Madison Landscape Architecture program (2nd and 3rd year students enrolled in the program).
The scholarship will be awarded to the entrants who most clearly and concisely answer the essay questions above. Note that this is not a design competition — project graphics, while welcome, will be viewed in a supporting role to the essay.
Essays are limited to a maximum of 2 pages (single sided), 1.15 line spacing, size 10 Times New Roman font. Up to 10 supporting images may be included with the essay as separate attachments. Entrants must use the template provided— altering margins, font, or font size will result in disqualification.
