The Endowment supports educational programs focused on attracting young people to the industry, and educational endeavors to identify and solve industry needs and/or challenges. AFE offers floriculture scholarship and paid internship scholarship programs to assist students interested in the floriculture/horticulture profession. All scholarships are provided as cash awards, ranging from $300 to $4,000 with checks issued jointly in the name of the recipient and the college or institution he or she will be attending in the fall. Each student who has won a scholarship will be sent a notification letter by U.S. mail. Scholarship decisions will be made by August of each year. All applications and supporting documents are due by May 1 each year and can be completed online through the online AFE Scholarship application.
