Sponsor: Indianapolis Landscape Association
Deadline: Apr. 1st
Essay Required: No

Requirements:
  • The scholarship is available to any second-year student or greater in a bachelor’s program or first year student in an associate program with a Landscape Architecture or Horticulture related major. Graduate students and students on co-op or internships are eligible.
  • You can apply for the scholarship as a second-year student as long as you are in your third year when the scholarship money is awarded
  • It is up to the committee to decide if there should be more than one winner in a given year, however there will always be a clear “Frits” winner who could be awarded up to $6,000. In 2019 as an example, the scholarship committee decided to give four scholarships totaling $10,000 dollars, one of which was the “Frits” winner at $5,000.
  • Once a student has been awarded with the “Frits” scholarship they are no longer eligible to win a second time. Students winning a lesser amount or those students unsuccessful can re-apply.
    It is not necessary to provide letters of recommendation from teachers, coaches, family members, etc…unless you feel the letter will greatly increase your chances to win the scholarship.
  • Maintaining good grades are important to us. But as you can see from our application, we only require a “C” average. To clarify, our committee will look at your grades. But, a higher GPA by one applicant will not be weighed any higher than an applicant with a “C” average.
  • Approximately five finalists will be chosen. A group of at least 3 ILA board members will choose the finalists and will conduct personal interviews prior to choosing the winning candidate.
  • The committee will be looking for well rounded, honest, hardworking individuals who demonstrate dedication to their school and their major. In the essay portion we would like to hear why you feel you are deserving of the scholarship. Any interesting information you can research about Frits Loonsten is encouraged as well.
  • Application deadline is April 1st. and we will announce the winner around the 1st. of June.
  • There are three schools involved in the scholarship. (Purdue, Ball State, & Vincennes) Last year we had about 12 total applicants from all three schools combined. Given the historical participation, everyone has a good chance of becoming one of the five finalists that will be chosen to interview with our ILA Scholarship Committee.
  • Payments are awarded in 2 installments, 1/2 before the start of the Fall semester and the other half before the start of the Spring semester assuming the student is still enrolled in a Horticulture related major and has remained in good standing.
  • If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me (see below).
