Bayer Advanced will award 25 full scholarships to The New Clinic

Bayer Advanced and American Nursery & Landscape Association (ANLA) have partnered to offer 25 scholarships to The New Clinic, scheduled for Jan. 26-29, 2011 in Louisville, Ky. The scholarships are valued at $795+ each.

Bayer Advanced Scholars receive a full registration to The New Clinic and a private evening networking reception with ANLA leadership. (Scholars are responsible for their own travel, lodging and dining expenses.)

Recipients will be selected for creative application responses, need, diversity of geography and business size, and a specific outlook/plan for making the most of business in spring 2011. Businesses must be primarily a retail garden center to qualify. To direct help where help is most needed, a minimum of 50 percent of the scholarships will be offered to businesses who experienced sales declines overall (and/or in hard goods/plant health category specifically) in 2010. Recipients are NOT required to be Bayer customers or current ANLA members in order to be eligible for the scholarship (though weighted preference may apply). Only one scholar per company will be selected.

Applications will be accepted via e-mail (access@anla.org) or FAX (1-800-284- 0233) until 11:59 pm EST Wednesday December 8, 2010. Recipients will be notified of their selection via e-mail by Wednesday December 15, 2010. Applicants who are not selected will have the opportunity to purchase a registration at the ANLA Member Early Bird rate.
