Arizona Retail Florist Education Travel Grant
Deadline Extended to December 17th, 2021
The grant is open to owners, managers, and employees of traditional retail florists with a brick and mortar storefront in Arizona.
Each year, one recipient will be selected by AFE’s Education Committee to receive the travel grant of up to $1,000 to help cover the cost of attending an out-of-state industry educational event.
Examples of eligible opportunities include floral design schools, SAF Convention, FTD Boot Camp, Floriology Institute, Teleflora Academy Events, SAF Profit Blast, State or Regional Floral Conventions, Cultivate, PFCI classes, AIFD Symposiums, and others.
The exception to the out-of-state travel requirement would be if a national program (like SAF Convention or AIFD Symposium) were held within Arizona, which would still allow for exposure to fellow out-of-state retail florists and floral industry members.
PJ’s Flowers and Events – Phoenix, Arizona.
Bre’s travel was postponed due to COVID-19, however, Bre will be attending AIFD Symposium in Las Vegas, Nevada in 2022.

Apply by December 17th (for travel in 2022).
