Un agradecimiento al equipo de revisión de becas de AFE de 2022
15 de julio de 2022
The American Floral Endowment’s Undergraduate and Graduate Scholarship programs are the cornerstone of uplifting the next generation of industry leaders.
This past year, we launched a new platform for scholarship applications, making our over 30 undergraduate and graduate scholarship opportunities more accessible than ever. With responsive features, upload options, automatic save, reference tracking, and an equally intuitive portal for reviewers, the new platform saw 65 applications in 2022.
It is with the help of 47 industry members turned volunteer reviewers that AFE has awarded 20 emerging young professionals a scholarship. We are incredibly appreciative of the time, effort, and thorough consideration each of our reviewers gave to processing applications and testing this new platform. We could not do what we do without you.
