Timothy S. and Palmer W. Bigelow, Jr. Scholarship |
The Timothy S. and Palmer W. Bigelow, Jr. Scholarship was created in 1988 by the Bigelow family to aid students from New England who are seeking a career in horticulture. The scholarship was dedicated initially to one of the family’s children, the late Timothy Bigelow. At Palmer W. “Bill” Bigelow’s death, the name of its creator was added.
The Bigelow family considers student scholarships the most important commitment the horticultural industry can make to ensure the growth and development of the nursery and landscape industry.
One scholarship up to $2000 is available.

Hans Gunter Mecking Scholarship |
Hans Gunter Mecking was one of those people in the green industry who, if you knew him, you knew he was salt of the earth. Gunter knew the meaning of hard work and valued the relationships he built over a lifetime working side by side growers. After working for his family’s business in Germany, Gunter travelled to Canada where he developed a peat bog and peat moss business. Gunter had an impeccable reputation and his commitment to honesty and custom solutions for each and every one of his customers was well known.
In 2019, his friends and family banded together to established the Gunter Mecking Memorial Scholarship, benefitting green industry students who aspire to the same qualities that made Gunter so special: hard work, honesty, and commitment to the industry.

Mugget Growers of America (MGA) Scholarship |
What is a Mugget? An informal group called the Mugget Growers of America (MGA) began in 1981 as a social, educational and fundraising group. Each year MGA participants meet at the American Nursery & Landscape Association’s (ANLA) Management Clinic to discuss important plant issues regarding the development of a new plant called “Mugget”. In addition to their discussions many of the MGA members make contributions during their meeting to the Horticultural Research Institute (HRI), the research affiliate of ANLA. Contributions are made in support of HRI’s research and scholarship activities.
MGA members understand the importance of having qualified and quality professionals within the green industry. The MGA group decided that proceeds from Mugget events will be made in support of student scholarships. This is how the Mugget Scholarship was created. Each year, as the fund grows a student scholarship will be awarded. Mugget supporters hope to help aspiring students from across the country obtain a degree in horticulture with this scholarship.
