23 Students Receive AFE Scholarships

American Floral Endowment’s Candice Musgrove, Program Manager, congratulate AFE’s 2026 scholarship recipients.

Every year, one of my favorite jobs as Program Manager is reading through our scholarship applications and getting to know the students who are passionate about building a career in floriculture. Their stories, experiences, and goals are inspiring, and they give me so much hope for the future of our industry.

This year, I am excited to congratulate AFE’s 2026 scholarship recipients. Thanks to the generosity of our donors and industry partners, AFE is awarding a record $87,400 in scholarships through 27 scholarship awards. These scholarships help ease the financial burden of college, but they also remind our students that the floral industry believes in them and is invested in their future.

To our scholarship recipients, congratulations! You have worked incredibly hard to get to this point, and we are proud to support you as you continue your education and begin your careers. I can’t wait to see where your journey takes you.

To our donors, thank you for making these opportunities possible. Your generosity is changing lives and helping to develop the next generation of leaders who will strengthen and grow our industry for years to come.
