Dear Advisors,

I want to take a minute to alert you to two scholarship opportunities for horticulture students in California.

The Horticultural Research Institute (HRI) is pleased to offer both the Susie & Bruce Usrey Education Scholarship and the Usrey Family Scholarship for school year 2023-2024. These scholarships were established by donors who consider graduating students in horticulture to be the lifeblood of the green industry.

Through their generosity, we will grant two scholarships for the 2023-2024 school year, with preference given to a student attending an California school.

I ask that you share this opportunity with colleagues and students, noting that the deadline to apply is June 1, 2023.

Our streamlined application process allows for students to apply to this scholarship, along with numerous other HRI scholarships. In total, over $20,000 in scholarship support for horticulture students is available.
