Scholarship season open for horticulture students

 

Five scholarships are available from the David Colegrave Foundation (DCF). Students can get up to £2,500 to put towards their studies.

 

DCF has awarded almost £100,000 over the past ten years towards study tours, work placements, college tuition, accommodation fees, books, equipment, and extra training courses. 

 

Winning last season, Isobel Watson, a Level 3 Crop Technician Apprenticeship at Pershore College and grower at Bransford Webbs, said: “I am so excited to be given this opportunity and I feel this Student Scholarship will help me develop in my current role as a grower and support my studies with my apprenticeship. It will be such a valuable learning experience that can support my horticulture career in many ways.”    

 

This season’s scholarships support interest in marketing, production, commercial, research or sustainability within ornamental horticulture: 

  • The Ball Colegrave Sponsored Travel Scholarship awards up to £1,500 to fund travel to the UK and Europe in order to develop knowledge and experience in bedding plant production and marketing.  
  • The British Protected Ornamentals Association – Peter Seabrook Bursary awards up to £1,000 to support the study of commercial horticulture. 
  • The Horticultural Research Scholarship awards £2,500 to support applied research within the horticulture industry.  
  • The John Gibson Environmental Scholarship awards £1,500 to support environmental solutions and sustainable applications as applied to commercial horticulture.  

The Student Scholarship awards £1,000 to support studies in horticulture.  

 

Scholarship Season runs from now until 31 January 2021.
