We are accepting applications for two floriculture/horticulture paid internship programs – the Vic & Margaret Ball Intern Scholarship Program and the Mosmiller Intern Scholarship Program.

Our internships are the best way for students to gain hands-on experience that helps them toward their future careers. Since their inception, our programs have been awarded 1.3 million dollars in scholarships to deserving students in the industry.

In addition, faculty are reimbursed up to $1,000 in travel expenses to visit students at their internship sites!
Three videos were created to promote this program, including the student/faculty video, which shares students’ successful internship experiences and testimonials on how the program helped them in their careers.

COVID-19 Update from AFE
The health and safety of our interns remain a top priority. While we encourage students to apply for these paid internship programs, we are evaluating the timing of all internships and will grant extensions as needed to ensure the safety of our host employers, their staff, and the interns as we continue to monitor the situation surrounding COVID-19 and the Delta variant. If your business is looking for interns or you’d like to sign up to be a host, please contact AFE’s Program Coordinator, Candice Musgrove at cmusgrove@afeendowment.org.
