IUB-Sarah Elizabeth Frey Indiana Daffodil, Inc. Scholarship

These awards are intended to help upper level undergraduate students with their studies in botany, horticulture and landscape design; graduate students are also eligible.

This award is open to any junior or senior obtaining an undergraduate degree from the Department of Biology, with an emphasis of study in botany, preferably ornamental crops. The group is opposed to supporting genetic modification of plants that bypass natural selection. Acceptable areas of interest include plant breeding (providing any deliberate genetic crosses use naturally isolated alleles); genetics; ecology (natural culture conditions); and plant evolution. Preference will be given to an applicant with a strong interest or experience in the growing, breeding, and/or showing of daffodils. Students in the field of plant molecular biology or biochemistry are able to apply as long as work in these fields does not directly produce or optimize strains that would be used in the field. Applicants must have a GPA of 2.8 or better. The recipient must attend one of the Indiana Daffodil Society events held at Holliday Park in Indianapolis, IN, or at the Bloomington Farmers’ Market during the year following his or her award.
