Description

Bright, well trained, and qualified people are essential to the nursery industry, that's why Dale and Liz Deppe created the Spring Meadow Scholarship Fund in 1999. This fund is dedicated to helping aspiring students from across the country obtain a degree in horticulture. Spring Meadow Nursery's goal is to grant scholarships to students with an interest in woody plant production, woody plant propagation, woody plant breeding, horticultural sales and marketing. Applicants must be enrolled in an accredited program in landscape, horticulture or related discipline at a two or four-year institution. Students in vocational agriculture programs will also be considered. They must be currently enrolled in good standing. Applicants must have at least a sophomore standing in a four-year curriculum or senior standing in a two-year curriculum as of the fall semester of scholarship application year, if an undergraduate student. Graduate students of any year are also eligible. Applicants must be interested in woody plant production, wood plant propagation, woody plant breeding, and/or horticultural sales and marketing. They must also have a minimum overall GPA of 2.25, and a minimum GPA of 2.7 in their major. Previous Spring Meadow Nursery Scholarship award winners are eligible for additional funding and may reapply. Applicants must submit two letters of recommendation. Recommendations may come from a student advisor, instructor, employer, or business associate and must be submitted directly from the recommender to HRI. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the Horticultural Research Institute for more information.
