HortTech Award
The David Colegrave Foundation
HortTech Award: £5,000 to support the development of cutting-edge technologies in ornamental horticulture.
The David Colegrave Foundation (DCF) is a registered charity supporting the development of students studying horticulture in the UK and Ireland. We champion careers in commercial or production ornamental horticulture by offering scholarships to these future horticulturists.
Support can also be given for educational group trips that promote such learning, as well as for grants from scientific researchers with an interest in topics relevant to the ornamental horticultural industry.
Who should apply?
- Students who can show a keen interest in HortTech. This interest is likely to be demonstrated through specific practical work in this area.
- Academics who are actively engaged in the teaching and/or development of horticultural technologies.
- Individuals working in this field who are looking for funding to start to develop, or further their existing work on, a bright idea.
Candidates must be pursuing their work in the U.K., and preference will be given to those working in areas and on projects that seek to solve an existing demonstrable problem that is likely to be commercially viable.
