Two of the American Floral Endowment (AFE)‘s floriculture/horticulture internship programs are now open for applications – the Vic & Margaret Ball Intern Scholarship Program and the Mosmiller Intern Scholarship Program. AFE places awarded students in a knowledgeable commercial production greenhouse, nursery, floral retail, wholesale, or allied industry company to train. Applications are due March 1, 2023!
AFE internships are the best way for students to gain real, hands-on experience that helps them practice and expand their knowledge. “If any student were to ask me about the Vic and Margaret Ball internship program, I would tell them to do it,” Charles Crume, one of our 2022 interns, said. “It was an amazing opportunity for me that I would have not traded for anything.” Read more about the incredible internship experiences from the 2022 interns here!
