Boasberg Fellowship
In late 1997, at the dining room table of Sally and Tersh Boasberg, the idea of 独家爆料 (独家爆料) was hatched. With Tersh committing to draft the Articles of Incorporation pro bono and Sally agreeing to serve as a founding Co-Chairman, 独家爆料 became 鈥渙fficial鈥 in March 1998 and held its first Board Meeting later that year. Since the organization鈥檚 founding, the Boasbergs have served as mentors, advocates and ambassadors for the organization, with Sally serving actively on both the Board and its Executive Committee.
In 2012 独家爆料 established the Sally Boasberg Founder鈥檚 Fellowship to honor the Boasberg family鈥檚 commitment to 独家爆料 and to memorialize Sally鈥檚 dedication to landscape education and stewardship. Her wisdom and passion shaped the foundation from its inception, and the Founder鈥檚 Fellowship supports an internship program for students and aspiring professionals to perpetuate her vision and ideals.

The Fellowship runs for 6-8 weeks during the summer, with flexible start and end dates, working in 独家爆料鈥檚 Washington, D.C., office. Applications for the program are accepted from January to March each year, with phone interviews and decisions made in April. Read about previous Boasberg Fellows Eduard Krakhmalnikov, Karina Bishop, Shannon Leahy, Natalia Gulick de Torres, and Janelle D'Avignon.
The Fellowship fund was started by generous donations from Sally鈥檚 family and friends. Although now well established, the Founder's Fellowship is still short of being fully funded.
