BSLA
S howcas e: S t u d e n t 2014 BS L A S ch ola rshi p Wi n ners
Each year the BSLA awards scholarships to deserving landscape architecture students from or attending an
accredited program in Massachusetts or Maine. The Scholarship Committee was impressed with the high quality
of submissions this year—and it was a bit of a challenge to identify the best of them—but we did and are delighted
to see the 2014 Scholarship Winners profiled here. In preparation for the coming year, you will find the submitting
specifications will be available in December and the deadline for submission will be in April.
Due in large part to the success of Fieldbook, BSLA is pleased to announce that the scholarships have been
increased to $2000 for the coming year. We invite all students in the four LA programs in Massachusetts and
all Massachusetts/Maine residents who are attending school in other states to consider applying for the 2015
Scholarship Program.

Jessi is currently a candidate for Master of Landscape Architecture
at the Boston Architectural College, but hasn’t always been in the
landscape architecture profession. Her Peace Corps service in a
small, indigenous rain forest village ultimately led her to landscape
architecture. She used problem solving skills to create unique and
natural solutions for systems that the community members would
“embrace and integrate” into their daily lives. It was here that her
passion developed to challenge the issues of aging infrastructure,
urban industrial uses, food deserts, sustainability, and alternative
transportation to create systems that educate the public and create a
timeless and adaptable environment.
