#GWA2017 NextGen Scholarship Application

GWA and the GWA Foundation are excited to announce the second annual #GWA2017 NextGen Scholarship to attend the 2017 GWA Annual Conference & Expo, August 4-7 in Buffalo, NY. This year, three scholarships will be offered, covering #GWA2017 conference registration as well as up to $1,000 in travel ($1,500 value).

Ideal scholarship recipients would be working as a garden writer, blogger, speaker or photographer under the age of 40. Those working in marketing or PR, either as part of a firm or allied industry, will not be eligible for this scholarship. Previous GWA NextGen scholarship recipients are not eligible for 2017 scholarships. Scholarship applications are due Tuesday, June 20. 

"Attending the GWA conference in 2016 was a landmark moment in my life as both a gardener and writer. As the recipient of the NextGen scholarship that year, I was honored to be received into the GWA community with open arms. In terms both personal and professional, the people at #GWA2016 were overwhelmingly generous with their confidence, advice and resources. I spent that long weekend meeting new friends and colleagues who have since connected me with commissions for over half a dozen publications. I'll be back this year with gratitude and eagerness to contribute to this inspiring group of individuals."
