The Shinoda Foundation once again recognized horticulture’s top students with six scholarships plus grants to colleges and universities totaling nearly $19,000.
“These students represent horticulture’s best and brightest,” said Bob Otsuka, president of the Foundation. “It’s our industry’s duty to grow our future, and we’re proud to play a small role.”
Students from horticulture programs across the nation can apply for the scholarships, with awards bestowed based on carefully reviewed criteria including academics, work experience, career goals, extracurricular activities and need.
2016-17 Shinoda Foundation Scholarship winners include:
Lauren Behrmann, Senior, Texas Tech University, $1,200

Mary Lewis, Senior, University of Georgia, $1,200

In addition, Gage Willey received the California Floral Council Scholarship, eligible only to applicants residing in California, in the amount of $1,000.
