SUMMER STUDY FOR COLLEGE OR GRADUATE STUDENTS
The GCA Summer Scholarship
In Field Botany


Provides financial aid to students following their
undergraduate years or graduate students up to the
Masters degree level wishing to pursue summer studies
doing work in the field specifically related to field
botany. This award addresses the need to promote the
study of botany to the horticulture public and increase
the awareness of the importance of botany to horticulture.
Field work may be be done in North America,
Central America or South America, but with equally
qualified candidates, preference is given to students
studying in the United States. All candidates must be
enrolled in a U.S. college or university. The summer
project may be pursued beyond the regular course of
study to gain additional knowledge and experience, and
may award credit. Selection and administration by the
GCA Scholarship Committee and members experienced
in botany.
