The IPPS Eastern Region offers scholarships for qualifying students to cover registration costs for our Annual Conferences, generally held in September. Students may apply for a scholarship to attend for 1,2,3 or all 4 days of the event. This year’s conference is being held in Hamilton, Ontario at the end of September.
The annual conference is a fantastic opportunity to network and build invaluable relationships with the best in the business from across the country. The four day conference consists of behind-the-scenes-tours to local nurseries and botanic gardens as well as an educational session of thought-provoking talks by industry experts and business professionals. A poster session, plant auctions and time to socialize round out the event.
A generous number of student scholarships are available. The estimated value of the scholarships varies from $75 to $500 depending on the length of attendance. This is not a cash award but a complimentary registration. Students are responsible for their own travel and overnight accommodations.
