David Roberts Wins 
 "BioWorks IPM/Sustainable Practices Scholarship"

 

Victor, New York (October 18, 2013) -BioWorks would like to congratulate David Roberts, as the recipient of the American Floral Endowment: "BioWorks IPM/Sustainable Practices Scholarship". Students were evaluated on the basis of sound academic performance and a grade point average of 3.0 or better.

 

Roberts is a graduate student at North Carolina State University, and hopes to one day earn his PhD and dedicate his life to researching and teaching. "I plan to one day give back to the academic community that has already done so much for me," Roberts said. "Nothing would make me happier than working for a land-grant university like NC State, and until that day, I will pour all of my efforts and energies into achieving that goal."

The BioWorks IPM/Sustainable Practices Scholarship is intended for sophomore, junior, or senior students pursuing a career in floriculture. While it is not mandatory, it is strongly desired that the student be interested in furthering the use of Integrated Pest Management ("IPM") or Sustainable practices and preference will be given in this area. BioWorks hopes to encourage young people to pursue a career in floriculture or horticulture and will support those pursuits with the scholarship.
