Horticultural Research Institute (HRI) scholarship applications for the 2020-2021 school year opened in May 2020 and will close Sept. 10.

HRI scholarships are made possible by seven special endowment funds that aid students who are seeking a lifelong career in horticulture.

Required materials include general contact information, statement of financial need, personal essay, resume, transcript and two letters of recommendation.

Recommendations may come from a student adviser, instructor, employer or business associate and must be submitted directly from the recommender to HRI through its online application system.

Submission of all materials must be completed through HRI’s online application system. Only one application is required to apply for all scholarships for which you are eligible. Awards are sent directly to the recipient’s school in the fall semester.

The scholarship application and prerequisite information are available on the Horticultural Research Institute website.
