The Friends of Gage Park (in Hamilton) established this scholarship in recognition of Lorrie Dunington-Grubb’s contributions to landscape architecture and her influence on the creation of many culturally significant landscapes. The intent of this scholarship is to bring attention to the importance of cultural landscapes and serve as a means to attract diversity, talent, and leadership to this area of research. Apply by August 15 using the OAC Graduate Fall Award Application Form. Students will be asked to submit a research proposal within the application form. Research proposals must identify some component of cultural landscapes research that makes landscape heritage more visible, identifying its value, and empowering its stewards (e.g., cultural landscape documentation and archival research, cultural landscape theory and practice, biographies of cultural landscapes, adaptive reuse of cultural landscapes, cultural landscape restoration). Selection will be based on the quality of the research proposal and academic achievement.

Full-time students entering the Master of Landscape Architecture program who propose to undertake research in the area of cultural landscapes.
