Make a gift to a special initiative that provides opportunities to
alumni of CSLD
The David Bird Fellowship Fund
The Conway School of Landscape Design is accepting contributions to the
David Bird International Service Fellowship fund. Friends and family of
David Bird have established this endowment fund and set a goal of
$100,000.
An annual stipend of $5,000 will be awarded annually to support
international public service work in furtherance of sustainable
landscape planning and design. Depending on funding and partnership
opportunities, a three- to six-month sojourn is projected for the first
fellowship, which will be launched in July 2009.
Find out about the 2009 awards.
The David Bird International Fellowship will provide recent graduates
an opportunity:
- to further develop their design and planning skills by
undertaking public service projects outside of the United States;
- to engage and support agencies and public service
non-governmental organizations in such projects;
- to enhance Conway’s graduate program and benefit current
students by having Bird Fellows in residence at Conway.
Please join us in honoring an incredible man and Conway’s first
Chairman of the Board of Trustees, David Bird.
The Cudnohufsky & Walker Service Fellowship
This award is made to a graduating student transitioning to
post-graduate life while serving the community. The fellowship will help
a student as he/she transitions to post-graduate life; it will serve
communities, help publicize the work of the school, and strengthen
alumni relationships.
The Fellowship may be used for travel (domestic or international),
for materials, or for living expenses during a service-oriented project.
Interested students apply by submitting a proposal outlining what they
will do and why they will do it, how the project will serve the
community, what the funds will be spent on and a timeline of the
project. Accepting an award includes a commitment to return to Conway
during the following school year to give a presentation about the
completed project, and a commitment to write and illustrate an article
for Con'text.
Please join us in honoring Conway’s founder, Walt Cudnohufsky, and
former director, Don Walker.
