This scholarship honors a former president and is funded through donations and auctions, supporting students pursuing careers in native plant conservation.

Scholarships
The Native Plant Society of Texas offers two scholarships for undergraduates at Texas colleges who major in biology, ecology, botany, landscape architecture, horticulture or related fields and who will be juniors or seniors in Fall 2024. Successful applicants will show a clear interest in Texas Native Plants and future plans that align with the stated mission of the Society: Promoting conservation, research and utilization of native plants and plant habitats of Texas through education, outreach and example.
NPSOT established this scholarship in 2008 to honor a former president of the Society who was also an educator. Proceeds from our Fall Symposium Silent Auction and additional donations from chapters and members fund this scholarship, which is a one-time $2,500 award for an undergraduate who plans to pursue a career related to Texas native plants and/or to the conservation and restoration of native plant habitats in Texas.
