Scholarship Available for Postharvest Technology of Horticultural Crops Short Course

Once again, through support from the Leonard and Marsaille Morris Trust, we are able to offer a full scholarship for the Postharvest Technology of Horticultural Crops Short Course in 2020.  The goal of the scholarship is to provide an opportunity for an individual from a emerging-economy country, pursuing a career in horticultural science who otherwise would not have the opportunity to participate in postharvest training in a developed country and who will take the postharvest biology and technology knowledge gained back to their home country to benefit others in the region. Interested individuals who meet the criteria described above should apply through this application no later than 11:59 p.m. (PST) on January 15, 2020. The selected recipient will only be responsible for air travel to Sacramento or San Francisco, personal expenses, passport, travel visa, and other related costs.  Course fees, on-the ground transportation in the U.S., lodging, and a food allowance will be provided as part of the scholarship.  Applications will be reviewed by a panel of postharvest specialists. The selected recipient will be notified no later than February 5, 2020.
