Two ASHS Scholars Awards are given to junior and senior undergraduate students to honor their scholastic achievements and career planning in the field of horticulture. The Collegiate Scholars Award recognizes the academic achievements of junior and senior undergraduate students studying horticulture or plant and crop science. They must be in the top 15 percent of their class to be eligible for this scholarship.
The Outstanding Undergraduate Horticulture Student Award honors one student per institution for scholastic achievement and leadership shown in the field of horticulture, pomology, olericulture, floriculture, and landscape horticulture, or plant science or crop science with an emphasis on horticulture.
ASHS is a non-profit, member-based organization based in Alexandria, Virginia that includes researchers, government representatives, college faculty, and those who grow and distribute products from horticulture.
