Landscape Architecture and Regional Planning
The Department of Landscape Architecture and Regional Planning houses highly ranked graduate and undergraduate programs, and strives to educate the next generation of talented LARP students and help create a more sustainable, livable world. You can help us make this happen.
Support us during the #UMassGives campaign and help us address needs such as:
Scholarship
Funds will be used as scholarships to recruit new students, and to retain students currently enrolled in the program, enabling LARP to support a diverse group of the best and brightest students possible.
Student Travel
Students will be supported to attend conferences and present their work to a larger professional audience. In addition, donations will help fund educational field trips, like our annual trip to New York City.
Technological Innovation
As technologies change, we must constantly invest in innovative design and computing resources to empower our students to do their best work. Your support will help keep our students working on the latest equipment with the newest technologies.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR GENEROUS SUPPORT!

“Scholarships are especially important as a way to attract, encourage and reward qualified students to complete their undergraduate degree and help them reduce their need for loans, especially those coming from middle--income families who may be the first generation in their family to attend college. I hope my fellow UMass, Amherst alumni will join me in giving back to our alma mater and current and future students.”
