The Larry D. Edwards Memorial Scholarship is an opportunity for full-time students enrolled in 2 or 4-year horticulture programs in North Carolina to receive education financial assistance. The Scholarship identifies and rewards horticulture students who exemplify scholastic aptitude, positive attitude, and industry potential.
The mission of the NCNLA Scholarship Fund is: to support the continuing education needs of qualified horticultural and landscape students in the state of North Carolina through an annual scholarship program.
Applications are due to NCNLA Headquarters no later than June 1, 2019 at 5:00 P.M.
