PURPOSE

Since 1990 the NEC-ISA has awarded scholarships to students pursuing an education in
field of study dedicated to plant material-oriented fields. The purpose of the awards is
threefold: to help promote interest in shade and ornamental trees, to recognize scholarly
endeavors, and to assist in financial aid.

Now the New England Chapter grants two scholarship awards of $1,500.  An additional
$2,000 a year is ear marked for the Alex Shigo Fund.  This fund was developed to
support the attendance of students to our Annual Conference and educational events.  
This money is available to assist with travel and lodging costs.

Recipients of the scholarship award will receive $1,500 toward their educational
expenses.  We encourage recipients of our scholarship to become involved within the
profession of arboriculture.  The NEC-ISA will also provide the recipient a free full
conference registration, one night lodging, and two complimentary banquet tickets for
accompanying guests.
