The Sidney B. Meadows Scholarship Endowment Fund is now accepting applications for the 2024 Awards. The fund is projecting to award 12 $2,000 scholarships in 2024.
All eligible horticulture students in their junior, senior or graduate years of study are encouraged to apply for this year’s scholarship. Students may be attending institutions across the United States but must be residents of the 16 southeastern states (listed below). The deadline for application is May 31; the scholarship selection committee will make its selections by Aug. 1 and recipients will be notified soon thereafter.
As in 2023, the Sidney B. Meadows Scholarship Endowment Fund is partnering with HRI on a common application, which allows students to apply for multiple scholarship programs at once and mitigate the time-consuming application process.
