The scholarship committee will select about a dozen students for the $1,500 awards.
The Sidney B. Meadows Scholarship Endowment Fund has announced it is
now accepting applications for its 2014 awards. Industry members are
asked to advise all eligible students of the availability of this
scholarship award. This information is currently available from the
Fund’s website (www.sbmsef.org). Horticultural students who are eligible are encouraged to apply for this year’s scholarship awards.
The deadline for application is May 30, 2014. The Scholarship
Selection Committee will make its selections by July 1, 2014 and
recipients will be notified soon thereafter. Awards will be made on July
23, in Atlanta, during SNA 2014.
Danny Summers, Executive Vice President of the fund said, “Last year,
the Fund awarded a total of $18,000 to 12 students. This year, we
expect to again award approximately twelve $1,500 scholarships. We are
very proud of our accomplishment in building the Fund over the past 25
years. Since its inception, the fund has awarded $419,000 in
scholarships and today the Fund’s balance is now over $800,000.”
Summers added, “We would like to express our appreciation to all our
industry for supporting the Fund’s growth and development and your
willingness to help us spread the word about this beneficial
scholarship.”
