Horticultural scholarships open to students

The David Colegrave Foundation (DCF) Scholarship Season is now open with several scholarships up for grabs. Young horticulturists have two months to apply for one of five Student Scholarships and five months to apply for a Sponsored Scholarship. This year sees a new scholarship opportunity from the South West Growers Show offering £1,500 financial support to a student, as well as the relaunch of the Wyevale Garden Centres Scholarship, formally the Garden Centre Group Scholarship. Wyevale Garden Centres is offering two students a £1,500 study support payment each and the opportunity to organise paid weekend and/or holiday work at a Wyevale Garden Centre. Jeff Colegrave, DCF Chairman, said: "Our scholarships are making a real impact in ensuring that the industry attracts and trains some bright young people. Last year we received a record number of applications from 15 colleges and we are looking forward to being able to support more promising candidates."
