Scholarship eligibility gives first priority to students attending an accredited California college or university, with consideration also given to undergrad California residents attending accredited institutions elsewhere in the U.S. While students are not required to major in an agricultural program, applicants must show a commitment to seeking employment in the floral industry after graduation. A work history or meaningful internship experience in floriculture is required for applicants not pursuing an agricultural degree. Additional criteria include maintaining a GPA of 3.0 or higher.

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. ThermoKing eventually made his contributions to refrigeration systems standards. Today, Armellini Logistics encompasses many businesses: Armellini Express Lines, Inc., J.A. Flower Service, Armellini Freight Brokerage, Armellini Air Express, and Dash Mobile Storage.

The Markham-Colegrave International Scholarship operates in cooperation with the Colegrave Seabrook Foundation International Scholarship in London, England. Each year there will be an exchange of students between the U.S. and Europe, alternating between the two countries. Scholarship awards of $4,500 will be made.
