The scholarship is open to college undergraduates, graduate students, and advanced degree candidates, or non-degree-seeking applicants above the high school level. Eligibility is open to U.S. citizens and permanent residents who are currently and actively enrolled in a U.S.-based institution. The scholarship funds one or more scholarships annually to support study at an accredited college, university, or major botanic garden or arboretum.
