The Colegrave Seabrook Foundation is inviting nominations for the Hort Tech Award.
Technology is becoming increasingly important in horticulture. A number of colleges and universities have specialist technical schools, working on projects as well as educating students, whether this is looking to reduce human labour inputs or improve growing conditions and product ‘shelf-life’ post harvest.
Benefit
- Up to £5,000 to support the development of cutting-edge technologies in ornamental horticulture.
Eligibility Criteria
- Students who can show a keen interest in HortTech. This interest is likely to be demonstrated through specific practical work in this area.
- Academics who are actively engaged in the teaching and/or development of horticultural technologies.
- Individuals working in this field who are looking for funding to start to develop, or further their existing work on, a bright idea.
What are the requirements for earning a scholarship?
- All applications will be assessed individually by the CSF trustees. As a general rule, preference will be given to applicants who meet the following criteria:
- Reasonable use for scholarship funds, for example, course fees, educational resources, travel expenses associated with study or study tours.
- Focus of studies on ornamental horticulture, especially with an emphasis on the bedding, container, pot plant and cut flower sectors.
- Seeking to make a career in the field of commercial or production ornamental horticulture.
- Show demonstrable talent, as evidenced by grades achieved and by tutors’ assessments.
