High on horticulture, but low on funds?

At £1,000 or more, one of our scholarships can really boost a student’s learning potential. In the last ten years, we have awarded almost £100,000 through scholarships, trip bursaries and other educational initiatives.

As a registered charity the Colegrave Seabrook Foundation support the development of students studying horticulture in the UK and Ireland. We champion careers in commercial, production and retail ornamental horticulture by offering scholarships to these future horticulturists.

Anyone eligible to study in UK and currently enrolled on an accredited horticultural course at any British or Irish further educational establishment, is welcome to apply for a Colegrave Seabrook Scholarship.

Scholarships include student awards as well as several others that are sponsored by major horticultural companies; in addition to funding, these can provide work placements and the chance to travel. Consideration may also be given to those who are on the early stages of their career path and are looking to travel to extend their knowledge of the industry, or need help to purchase resources to assist in their learning.

Take a look at the range of scholarships available and if you think you are eligible, but not sure which scholarship to apply for, contact the Administrator, Nicci Gow at info@colegraveseabrookfoundation.org.uk for more advice.
