The Fred Tschopp Senior Scholarship

The Fred Tschopp Senior Scholarship is made possible by a generous Endowment made by its Founder Fred Jr. and the New Zealand and California Tschopp Family. The award commemorates the life and achievements of Fred Tschopp Senior, a Swiss-American certified landscape architect who pioneered modern, innovative landscape architecture in New Zealand during the years 1929-1932. Fred Tschopp Snr. is thought to be the first trained and registered landscape architect who practised in this country. He is recognised in refereed publications as New Zealand's first modern practitioner.

The Fred Tschopp Senior Scholarship is a Fees Award given to an entry level student who satisfies the following criteria through a portfolio and presentation to the Tschopp Scholarship panel. The scholarship is for one full years fees. .

The successful student will be selected on the basis that their design portfolio demonstrated:

1. The potential for their research to contribute new knowledge to the discipline of landscape architecture through design research

2. The potential to make a challenging, exciting and significant difference to our world, cities and landscapes

3. The potential to honour the legacy of Fred Tschopp Snr., as characterized by his creative and innovative expansion of the traditional boundaries of the Profession of Landscape Architecture as represented in his "Pioneering work in Rotorua".
