The ASCFG Scholarship Committee recently commended two students for their academic work, life experiences and career goals. Amy Hinkle, a horticulture student at Penn State University was awarded $1000 for education expenses, a one-year ASCFG membership, and complimentary registration to the 2009 National Conference. The Committee was impressed by her devotion to horticulture, and
specifically to floriculture. Amy is commended for acting right away on commercially growing flowers with the intent on making a profit, proving that cut flower production is a enterprise as well as a joyful experience. Amy’scommitment to become one of the best flower growers showed the Committee that she was worthy of receiving the top prize.
