US (CA): Shinoda Foundation Contributes to Horticulture’s Growth with nearly $15,000 in Scholarships & Grants

Focused on encouraging horticulture’s continued growth, the Shinoda Foundation invests in the future through the awarding of its annual scholarships.

“By recognizing the best horticulture students in the nation, we’re paying it forward for the industry,” said Bob Otsuka, president of the Foundation. “Anything we can do to help secure the industry’s future success is our privilege.”

This year the Board of Trustees awarded eight scholarships totalling $13,500, plus grants totalling $1,350 to the winners’ colleges and universities, for a grand total of $14,850.
