Arborjet launched its inaugural “Taking Root” scholarship program, which will provide 10 graduating high school seniors $1,000 scholarships to pursue full-time studies in forestry, plant sciences, horticulture, entomology, environmental science or a related major at an accredited two-year or four-year college.
“We hope to have parents, educators and the tree care community join us in encouraging young students to transform their ingenuity and passion into a career in this exciting industry,” said Russ Davis, president and COO of Arborjet. “Through Arborjet’s ‘Taking Root’ scholarship program, we will recognize those dedicated students who have already demonstrated achievement in their schools and communities, and who plan to bring their skills and talents to our industry.”
To be eligible for the “Taking Root” scholarship program, applicants must be graduating U.S. high school seniors who plan to major in a forestry course of study or related major for the entire 2014-2015 academic year.
The application deadline is June 30. Interested students may be directed to sms.scholarshipamerica.org/arborjet/index.html to apply.
