Scholarships available to attend NCYGS!
A limited number of scholarships for discounted or complimentary registration are available for the 30th annual National Children & Youth Garden Symposium (NCYGS). Scholarships will be awarded based on three factors: a demonstrated commitment to children's and youth gardening initiatives, work with an underserved and/or Title I population, and financial need.
In addition, thanks to the generosity of NCYGS sponsor, Ball Horticultural, we are able to offer five (5) scholarships for attendees who self-identify as Black, Indigenous, and/or a Person of Color. These Ball Horticultural Scholarships cover NCYGS full-symposium registration, 3 nights at the conference hotel (the Delta by Marriott), and a stipend for up to $300 for travel expenses.
Previous NCYGS attendees may apply, but preference is given to individuals who have not attended previously. To apply, complete the scholarship application and upload your resume. Only applications completed online will be considered. The deadline for submitting an application is Friday, April 29, 2022. http://riverfarm.wufoo.com/forms/z9f4fi917ci1ve/
