Our much anticipated 2018 State conference in Bonita Springs is a "wrap", and your Executive Committee is busy collecting conference attendance data, calculating revenue and expenses, and preparing a final conference report to account for our successes. Even though we do not have all the data on paper just yet, we do know in our hearts that this conference was extremely successful in all aspects.

The ASLA Florida Chapter is excited to continue our fundraising campaign to provide scholarships to students attending an accredited Landscape Architecture program at a Florida university.
The challenge - a ten-year goal of $250,0000 to fund an endowment that will provide two $5,000 scholarships per year in perpetuity. The fundraising effort also has a stretch goal to fund two $5,000 scholarships during the ten years the endowment is built, awarding the first scholarships in 2020.
Established in 2017, the American Society of Landscape Architects Florida Chapter Landscape Architecture Career Discovery Scholarship will be awarded annually to two incoming students enrolled in an accredited Landscape Architecture program at a Florida university. Scholarship recipients will exemplify the ideals of landscape architecture in scholarship, service, and ethics and show promise in the fields of landscape architectural design or research.
