In order to cover the cost of registration at its Annual Meetings, the Alliance’s Scholarship Committee makes available at least one student scholarship. Students must be either upper level undergraduate students (4th or 5th year) or a graduate student in the fields of landscape or architectural preservation (technology, planning, history/theory, conservation and ecology), cultural geography, anthropology, horticulture, rural landscape protection or land use law. Scholarships will pay conference registration fees but will not cover transportation, lodging or meals other than those provided with the registration fee. Alliance Annual Meetings are held in historic settings in the U.S. or Canada. Typical gatherings include presentations, collegial discussions and guided field tours of sites that demonstrate current practices, issues, and dilemmas in cultural landscape preservation. Since meetings are usually small (20-40 professionals), participants have ample opportunities for networking, discussion, and consideration of real problems in all aspects of landscape preservation practice.
