AmericanHort Accepting 2021 HortScholar Applications
AmericanHort is accepting applications for the 2021 HortScholar program from students enrolled in a horticulture-related program at any degree level. Applications will be accepted at AmericanHort.org/Scholars until March 1, 2021.
The HortScholar program is a unique experience designed to help students in horticulture create long-lasting industry connections, find future jobs and internships, and experience some of the most exciting aspects of the industry. HortScholars will spend several days on-site volunteering with set up, learning and networking at Cultivate’21, taking place July 10-13 in Columbus, Ohio. They will attend facilitated meetings with industry leaders, learn in education sessions, present on a horticulture topic of their choice, and network at various social events.
“The HortScholar program allowed me to pull up a chair with industry leaders and begin to see a future at that table,” said Marcus Jansen, 2019 HortScholar alumni. “I’ve known that horticulture is where I’m meant to be, bu the HortScholars Programs exposed me to the opportunities, connected me to the people, and inspired me to take the next step.”
