Kent Horticultural Bursary

Kent Horticultural Bursary is an organisation whose goal is to encourage all aspects of horticultural study and in particular to promote this by means of an annual award of a bursary of up to £1000.  The Bursary is funded by the Kent Horticultural Discussion Group, which supports professional development in the horticultural industry and provides a social forum to share ideas and information.  East Malling Research (EMR), a leading R&D organisation, has hosted the group since its outset.

Applications may be made by individuals or groups and a single annual award will be granted.  The award can be for a study tour, project or piece of research work in any area of horticulture and applications will be judged for their long-term educational and community merits.

The Kent Horticultural Bursary for 2007 is now open.  Applications must include a fully planned and costed proposal and be received by 5 p.m. on 1 September 2007.  Further information and application forms for the bursary are available on the website.
