With less than a week left to apply for a scholarship, The Colegrave Seabrook Foundation is urging students to take advantage of available horticulture funding.

The wide variety of scholarships cover sectors including plant science, research, environmental study and technical research as well as more general horticultural studies. There are also scholarships specific to students interested in bedding and ornamental plant production or specialist tree production with Majestic Trees.

A number of organisations support scholarships, such as:

Blue Diamond, the inspirational home, garden and living centres, with outlets across the UK;
Ball Horticulture, the UK’s leading wholesale distributor of seed and plants to commercial growers and local authorities;
Majestic Trees, the award winning grower specialising in the supply and planting of mature and character trees;
British Protected Ornamentals Association [BPOA], representing the UK bedding & pot plant industry

To be eligible for consideration and successful in being granted a scholarship, students need to demonstrate their passion for horticulture and their commitment to making a career within the industry through their application. In addition to the basic contact details, some background information on your college, course and what interests you in the particular branch of horticulture you have chosen to study is required.

Applications close 31 January 2023 for awards which will be made in March 2023. For more information on the 2023 scholarships, visit www.colegraveseabrookfoundation.org.uk
