One of their winners saysThe Dave Dowling Scholarship provided me with incredible opportunity both in and out of the schoolroom . In 2017 , this scholarship pave the way for me , my education , and my business to flourish . Financially , the award allowed me to allot greater focus to my studies and relations that were taking place on campus .
However , this learning was more than just a financial gift . What is alone about the Scholarship are the addons that the ASCFG provide recipients . The first year ’s complimentary membership provided immense amount of research and worthful data I come up in The Cut Flower Quarterly , online meeting place and blog program , and through interpersonal kinship and hands - on experience presented to me through the ASCFG .
I have remained a phallus since , and my cut flower job and I would not be where we are today if it were not for the Dave Dowling Scholarship and the ASCFG .
