ASLA NCC JEDI Scholarship

The JEDI committee to the ASLA-NCC presents the ASLA-NCC Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Scholarship. It was born from a desire to concretely support the growth of Emerging Professionals from diverse backgrounds in order to promote the JEDI Mission. As Emerging Professionals, it is important to stay connected and find true mentorship. The scholarship was created in response to reducing barriers of entry into ASLA for BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) individuals. The scholarship will provide opportunities and resources for those individuals who may not have received them in the past and to diversify the pipeline by joining the ASLA-NCC with the intent of fostering career long development and involvement with the ASLA-NCC. We are excited to announce the inception of this program and to garner interest among our membership to step up and find a fulfilling mentorship role. The ASLA-NCC JEDI Scholarship will be a one-time award of 1 year membership to the National ASLA and ASLA-NCC, and a free ticket to this year’s ASLA Conference in San Francisco! Two winners will be selected and have the opportunity to be paired with a professional within their interest to support and help foster growth. Applications are due May 20th.
