Now Accepting: Educational Grant Applications
February 07, 2020
The American Floral Endowment is now accepting applications for Educational Grants for 2020.
Applications are available online and must be submitted by the deadline of
June 1, 2020.
Educational grants help fund programs that are wide-reaching educational endeavors that solve industry needs and challenges and focus on attracting young people to the industry.
Last year, the Endowment funded over $47,000 in educational grants. Examples of programs funded through AFE educational grants:
- The National Floriculture Forum, which unites professors, extension specialists, graduate students, scientists and other industry leaders for
a multi-day collaborative meeting that addresses important floriculture issues.
- National Industry Convention or Event Programs, collaborating and sponsoring national and state association educational programs.
- Seed Your Future, a national movement created to attract more talented young people to careers in horticulture and change the public perception of horticulture.
All requests are renewed on an annual basis with funding dependent on the number of funds available.
To apply online by the June 1 deadline, visit endowment.org/grants.
