Scholarship Season open for horticulture students
Five horticulture scholarships are available from the David Colegrave Foundation (DCF). Students can get up to £2,500 to put towards their studies.
DCF has awarded almost £100,000 over the past ten years towards study tours, work placements, college tuition, accommodation fees, books, equipment, and extra training courses.
Winning last season, Isobel Watson, a Level 3 Crop Technician Apprenticeship at Pershore College and grower at Bransford Webbs, said: “I am so excited to be given this opportunity and I feel this Student Scholarship will help me develop in my current role as a grower and support my studies with my apprenticeship. It will be such a valuable learning experience that can support my horticulture career in many ways.”
