The GCV 2010 Summer Fellowships
The Rudy J. Favretti 2010 Fellowship |
The William D. Rieley Fellowship |
In a continuing effort to build a comprehensive record of historic gardens in the Commonwealth of Virginia, The Garden Club of Virginia (The GCV) offers fellowship programs for landscape architecture students working towards a MLA or equivalent program. Fellows, under the supervision of professional landscape architect, William D. Rieley of Rieley and Associates in Charlottesville, Virginia, will create a final report with measured drawings and a written history of their assigned property. GCV fellows receive a $6,000 stipend for the three-month program as well as compensation for project related living and travel expenses.
The GCV Fellowships Have a Three-Fold Purpose:
1. To document through measured drawings and a written report, historic gardens and landscapes within the Commonwealth of Virginia.
2. To add these drawings and reports to a comprehensive record of Virginia's important historic gardens and landscapes, along with documentation already preserved by The Garden Club of Virginia of its many public garden restorations.
3. To offer a qualified student the opportunity to acquire hands-on experience, under the direction of a professional landscape architect, in the important field of historic landscape preservation.
