The Colegrave Seabrook Foundation is delighted to announce this year’s winners of The Colegrave Seabrook Foundation Scholarships. With competition for these awards increasing year on year, selecting the best students form the numerous applications is always difficult.
Colegrave Seabrook Foundation Chair, Jeff Colegrave, said,
“The task of selecting scholarship winners seems to become harder each year and we are always sorry that we do not have the funds to support more students. This year the quality of the applicants was particularly high, so we are very grateful to all our sponsors who, between them, have made it possible for us to support 16 students. We received applications from numerous different colleges and universities and from students studying a range of different courses. We feel confident that all these students will go on to pursue a career in horticulture and contribute to this vibrant and important industry. We wish them well as they begin their horticultural journey.”
