The American Floral Endowment (AFE) is accepting applications for two floriculture/horticulture internship programs. The application deadline is March 1. Click here for more information. Below are descriptions of both programs. 

Vic & Margaret Ball Intern Scholarship Program

The Vic & Margaret Ball Intern Scholarship Program provides the opportunity to gain experience at a commercial production greenhouse or nursery. The program offers paid internships in three, four or six-month durations and provides scholarships of up to $6,000.

In addition, faculty are reimbursed up to $1,000 in travel expenses to visit students at their internship sites!

Three videos were created earlier this year to promote this program, including the student/faculty video, which shares students' successful internship experiences and testimonials on how the program helped them in their careers.

Mosmiller Intern Scholarship Program

The Mosmiller Intern Scholarship Program provides students pursuing a career in retail or wholesale operations with internship experience and honors the late Colonel and Mrs. Walter E. Mosmiller, Jr. The program offers paid internships in 10-16 week durations and provides scholarships of $2,000.
