The Southern Region of North America of the International Plant
Propagators' Society (IPPS) will award up to five scholarships to
undergraduate students next fall in memory of longtime horticulture
teacher and IPPS editor Dr. Vivian Munday. The scholarships will be
presented at the annual meeting of the Southern Region IPPS Oct.28-31,
in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The meeting site is the Chattanooga Marriot
Hotel at the Convention Center.

 

The recipients will receive a stipend of $1,000 plus $500 for travel,
and will be provided free registration and tours at the meetings.
(Awardees are responsible for their own travel and lodging
arrangements.) Awardees must be present at the meeting on Monday, Oct.
29, to accept their scholarships.

 

Purpose of the scholarships is to provide financial encouragement to
undergraduate students in horticulture as memorial to Dr. Munday. Awards
will be given on the basis of a student's expressed interest in plant
propagation, financial need, activities and academic record.

 

The Munday scholarships are offered annually to second-year students and
higher at universities, two-year colleges, and technical schools in the
state in which the Southern Region IPPS meeting is held that year, plus
adjoining states. Because the meeting this year is in Chattanooga,
horticulture students in Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama, North Carolina,
Mississippi, Arkansas, and Missouri are eligible.
