This scholarship is administered by The Desert Botanical Garden and funded by The Garden Club of America, a national organization. Students studying horticulture, plant sciences, environmental science, landscape architecture, etc. are eligible for this unique opportunity in arid land studies. Preference will be given to applicants wishing to gain practical field experience, i.e., designing for sustainability, rainwater harvesting, plant management, etc.   To apply, contact a Botanical Garden to define an internship project.
