The Faculty
Floriculture faculty members play a critical role in preparing students for the future. Faculty members should encourage students to apply and explain that a student who receives a Vic and Margaret Ball Intern Scholarship will gain a unique opportunity to learn in a commercial environment and receive a significant cash grant upon satisfactory completion. Students seeking a career path in floriculture production should apply for this intern scholarship.
Responsibilities When Applying:
- Applicants should be evaluated carefully and honestly, considering ability, quality of work, and potential as a future member of the floral industry.
Responsibilites During Internship:
- Faculty members should communicate frequently with the Intern.
- Write a brief progress report midway through training period.
- Travel to internship site to monitor progress, if possible. (Up to $700 in travel expenses are reimbursed to sponsoring faculty member.)
