\"Los<\/a>AFE is announcing three new scholarships that will begin in 2013: The American Florists\u2019 Exchange Scholarship, The Julio and Sarah Armellini Scholarship and the Richard T. Meister Scholarship!<\/strong>
With more than 20 different scholarships now available through AFE<\/a><\/strong>, floriculture and horticulture students are sure to find a scholarship that fits their area of study. Scholarships range from $500-$5,000 and are awarded annually. Applications must be submitted online and are due, along with supporting materials, no later than May 1 each year.
\u201cAFE is extremely excited to have the opportunity to help more students become future floriculture leaders with these three new scholarships,\u201d Dwight Larimer, the chair of AFE\u2019s Education Committee, said. \u201cThese generous scholarships will be influential in helping aspiring industry members learn about all aspects of floriculture and horticulture.\u201d
The American Florists\u2019 Exchange Scholarship<\/strong> is offered to juniors or seniors majoring in agriculture with an emphasis on a future in floriculture. Applicants must be enrolled in a college\/university in California or be a California resident attending a college\/university in the U.S. The Original Los Angeles Flower Market was established in 1921 and is now part of the largest wholesale flower district in the United States.
\u201cThe floral industry has been good to us, and this is our way of giving back to the industry,\u201d Lizbeth Ecke, chairperson of the Los Angeles Flower Market, said. \u201cEstablishing this scholarship will provide the next generation of floral providers with financial assistance to further their training and education so they can keep the industry thriving.\u201d
<\/p>\"Julio<\/a>

Julio and Sarah Armellini<\/p>
The Julio and Sarah Armellini Scholarship<\/strong> is offered to sophomore, junior or senior students interested in pursuing careers in the marketing or distribution of floral products.
Julio \u201cToots\u201d Armellini is founder of Armellini Express Lines, the largest flower carrier service in the United States. Armellini enlisted in the Navy as a \u201cSeabee\u201d and was stationed all around the globe as a mechanic, where he learned the skills he used to modernize refrigerated trucking. When he began expanding his lines in the early 1950s, refrigeration was new and underdeveloped, so he established a more effective way of cooling his supplies using a system of constant airflow. Thermo King eventually made his contributions to refrigeration systems standard.
\u201cWe built our trucking company on the floral industry and have always considered ourselves as a floral company,\u201d\u00a0Julio Armellini said. \u201cWe believe that a well educated and talented work force is the secret to the continued success of the floral industry.\u201d
Today, Armellini has almost 70 years of experience in the industry and Armellini Industries, Inc. now encompasses many businesses: Armellini Express Lines, Inc., J.A. Flower Service, Inc., Fresco Service, Inc., Armellini On-Site Storage and NorthStar Transportation, Inc.
\"Richard<\/a>

Richard T. Meister<\/p>
The Richard T. Meister Scholarship<\/strong> is offered to graduate students in floriculture intending to pursue a career in the land-grant university system with an interest in research, extension or teaching.
Meister, a native of Ohio, graduated with a major in pomology from the College of Agriculture at Cornell University and also received an MBA from Harvard Business School. He currently serves as editor-at-large and chairman emeritus of Meister Media Worldwide and has held membership and office in many grower and professional associations, including the American Society for Horticultural Science, the Professional Plant Growers Association and the Society of American Florists.
When asked his reason for establishing a scholarship for the industry, Meister said, \u201cI had a wonderful partnership with floriculture researchers and educators in the land-grant college system that helped transform floriculture through the development of innovative new practices which made possible expanding and valuable markets for growers. I want to encourage students to do graduate work and make a career out of research, education and extension.\u201d
