Over time, the prestige and publicity associated with the award will also serve to publicize the profession, its significance and opportunities, and help attract inspired and motivated leaders. Given for leadership and vision, the $25,000 Olmsted Scholars Award is intended to be the premier award program for landscape architecture students.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Nominations from schools are due by February 16 and\u00a0the application deadline is March 15.\u00a0 The winner of the scholarship will also\u00a0receive an invitation and\u00a0complimentary tickets to the LAF Benefit, to be held along with the ASLA Annual Meeting in Washington D.C. on September 10, 2010.\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.lafoundation.org\/olmsted\/Olm_overview.aspx\" >Learn more at the LAF<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Also, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.asla.org\/contentdetail.aspx?id=23766\" >check out ASLA&#8217;s list of scholarships and fellowships<\/a> for both undergraduate and graduate students.
