AmericanHort is accepting applications between now and March 1, 2018, for its HortScholars program. The HortScholars program is open to any college student in a horticulture-related program.
According to AmericanHort, the HortScholars program sets students in horticulture on a path to success by exposing them to the breadth of the horticulture industry, its opportunities, and its leaders. The program offers a beyond-the-classroom experience, giving insight and awareness of the industry, its supply chain, and where young professionals might find a home for their passion. The focus of the program is on professional development including attending education sessions, networking, and working with industry mentors.
To learn more about the program, see a list of current and past HortScholars (many of whom should be familiar names), and apply, go to http://americanhort.org/AH/Events___Programs/HortScholars/about_scholars.aspx.
