Each year the California Planning Foundation (CPF) invites planning students to compete for a number of scholarships awarded to students seeking to enter the planning profession. Awards are based on an application and selection process by the CPF Board. Criteria include academic performance, financial need, increasing diversity in the planning profession, and a commitment to serve the planning profession in California after graduation. All scholarships include a one-year APA student membership.

APA Los Angeles is  proud to have contributed $4,000 toward a $1,000 Section Scholarship for one student at each of our four local universities: Cal Poly Pomona, CSU Northridge, UCLA and USC.

Applications are due no later than April 15.

These scholarships are designed for continuing students entering their final year of an eligible undergraduate or master’s degree program. For an application and a list of eligible programs, visit the CPF web site.
