Scholarships & Research Grants

Individuals and companies provide lasting support for the horticultural industry through bequests and donations to the Washington State Nursery & Landscape Scholarship and Research Charitable Fund. This charitable foundation takes the gifts it receives, manages the fund for growth, and distributes scholarships and grants annually to support horticultural education for students and funding for horticultural research. In 2010, over $16,000 was awarded to students and horticultural research professionals.  Deadline - February 1.
