Sparked by a recent gift of $15,000 from the California Floral Council, and earlier gifts from District 15B of the Extra Touch Floral Association (formerly the FTD association) the Joseph Shinoda Memorial Scholarship Foundation Inc. has established a Named Scholarship Program. Through this new initiative, the foundation encourages individuals and/or companies to directly participate in the award of scholarships that will promote the growth of floriculture and help nurture future generations of industry leaders. Such gifts could also be used to make a lasting tribute to a cherished family member or colleague, or to recognize the importance of an entire company. The contributing individual or company will name the scholarship and determine the qualifications for recipients. The Shinoda Foundation will solicit the student applications, administer the selection process, and manage the funds, as well as publicize the contributors' efforts. Contributors will have the option of donating one time, or being billed annually. Memorial scholarships may be collected from multiple sources and be awarded in the name of the individual. To facilitate determining the recipient’s qualifications for the named scholarship, contributors will be provided sample criteria on an easy to fill out form. Minimum to qualify will be $1000 one time or annually. To obtain a Named Scholarship Program Form, click here. The competed form must be submitted by mailing it to the address listed below, by e-mail, or other direct delivery means (i.e., UPS, FedEx, DHL, etc.).
