The CVNLA consists of members who are committed to improving and expanding the field of horticulture. To promote this commitment, the CVNLA has established a scholarship which encourages students to pursue a career in horticulture. Students must reside in Central Virginia and be pursuing a degree in Landscape Design or Horticulture. Preference is given to those individuals planning to work or have had prior work experience with a firm who is a member of the CVNLA.

Horticulture students enrolled at J. Sergeant Community College may seek an application from David Seward, Professor of Horticulture, or Ms. Rose Liggan, Scholarship coordinator for JSRCC. Applications must be received by March 31 of each year.
