AmericanHort is now accepting applications for its 2015 HortScholars program. The application deadline is March 20.
HortScholars is open to undergraduate and graduate students who are attending 2- and 4-year colleges and universities. The program is designed to expose students to various facets of the floriculture industry they would not typically experience as part of their regular academic coursework. The focus of the program is on professional development including attending education sessions, networking, and working with an industry mentor.
AmericanHort Scholars will spend seven days on-site at Cultivate'15 (the industry's largest event) in Columbus, Ohio. HortScholars meet as a group and individually with industry professionals, attend educational sessions, and network at various social events.
