[Plsugs] Bruce Briggs Scholarship

[Tanya Quist]

On behalf of the International Plant Propagators' Society Western Region, I
would like to inform you of a unique  opportunity for horticulture students
to attend our annual meeting with the help of the Bruce Briggs Memorial
Scholarship.  The International Plant Propagators' Society (IPPS) Western
Region awards the Bruce Briggs Memorial Scholarship to deserving students in
horticulture educational programs. 

 

This scholarship is given each year to college and/or university students
who are studying plant propagation and demonstrate a strong interest in
pursuing propagation as a career. The scholarship pays for students to
attend the annual International Plant Propagators' Society meeting held in
the Western Region. Both the registration fee (includes most meals) and
accommodations (shared) are covered by the scholarship. Travel costs are the
responsibility of the scholarship recipient. This year the meeting will be
held at the Ramada Plaza and Conference

Center in Abbotsford, British Columbia from October 1 - 4, 2014.

 

The annual meeting gives the students the opportunity to interact and hear
presentations on various areas of plant propagation. A tour of nursery
propagation facilities and affiliated businesses is an integral part of the
scheduled activities. The number of scholarships awarded (generally 5 to 10)
is determined by the cost of the meeting and hotel rooms for that year. An
added benefit of the award is a one-year student membership to IPPS. Because
of lack of funds, previous scholarship recipients are not eligible for a
second scholarship.

The deadline to apply for the Bruce Briggs Memorial Scholarship is June
15th, 2014.  The application  can be downloaded from the IPPS Western Region
website at: http://ippswr.org .  Completed applications can be mailed or
emailed to:
