Do you know students pursuing careers as nursery or landscape professionals?

The Oregon Nurseries Foundation (ONF) awards scholarships to students preparing for a career in ornamental horticulture and related fields. In all, 19 different awards — ranging from $500 to $1,500 — are sponsored by individuals and Oregon Association of Nurseries (OAN) chapters as a way to support the next generation of green industry professionals.

Applicants may be awarded more than one scholarship. Past recipients are encouraged to reapply. Applications for the 2017-18 school year must be postmarked by March 1, 2017.

To see a list of available scholarships and to apply, visit www.oan.org/scholarship and download the Scholarship Application Form. Applications must be submitted to the ONF office or postmarked by March 1 to be eligible for consideration. The ONF Board generally meets in late April to award scholarships, and successful applicants are notified soon after. For questions, contact Allison Pennell, OAN Events and Education Manager, at 503-582-2010 or apennell@oan.org.
