Dr. Steven Cohan retired after seventeen years as Professor of the Practice in the Plant Science and Landscape Architecture Department at the University of Maryland. He was an active participant in the National Association of Landscape Professionals and hosted the Student Career Days at Maryland in 2005; he presided over a strong industry advisory board and he influenced many additional students with his textbook, Business Principles in Landscape Contracting, and most importantly his personal commitment, energy, and influence. In order to honor Dr. Steve Cohan and help his mission carry on this fund was created for an annual scholarship in his name.
The Steven Cohan Scholarship in Landscape Studies will provide undergraduate merit scholarships to incoming students (Freshman, transfers or changes to this major) for landscape studies in the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources.
