Recipients
of 2006-07 Shinoda Scholarships Announced
San
Luis Obispo, Calif., Aug. 22, 2006 - The Trustees of the Joseph
Shinoda Memorial Scholarship Foundation Inc. are pleased to announce
the recipients of the 2006-07 Shinoda Foundation Scholarships. These
scholarships are given to students studying floriculture, horticulture,
and related fields. Six students received a total of $18,000 to assist
in funding their upcoming academic year.
"The
pool of applicants becomes more competitive each year," says Paul
Ecke III, president of the Shinoda Foundation. "We are thrilled
to see the next generation have such interest in a career in horticulture,
and we are pleased to support them in their studies."
In
2005, the Board of Trustees approved an increase in the Shinoda Scholarship
awards. The move was due in part to help defray the increased costs
of attending school. The board also believes that increasing the
scholarship awards will attract the highest quality students, encouraging
them to apply for the funding and pursue their careers in floriculture.
This year's recipients are the first group to benefit from this increased
scholarship funding.
The
recipients of the 2006-07 Shinoda Scholarships are:
- $5,000 to senior Jamie K. Mastright,
24, Ventura, Calif., an environmental horticulture science major
at California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo.
- $3,500 to sophomore Kelly D.
Norris, 19, Bedford, Iowa, a horticulture major at Iowa State University.
- $3,500 to senior Jessica D. Ritter,
22, West Point, Neb., a horticulture major at the University of
Nebraska-Lincoln.
- $3,000 to senior Russ P. Newman,
27, Nipomo, Calif., an environmental horticulture science major
at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo.
- $2,000 to senior Krystle L. Peelen,
21, Sanborn, Iowa, a horticulture major at South Dakota State University.
- $1,000 to senior Heather R. Ephraim,
23, Quartz Hill, Calif., an environmental horticulture science
major at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo.
Heather
Ephraim was designated as the recipient of the California Floral
Council Scholarship. This is the first year this scholarship has
been awarded by the Shinoda Foundation. A gift of $15,000 was presented
to the Shinoda Foundation by Hardy Neuendorff, president of the
CFC, in 2005 to establish the CFC Scholarship in perpetuity. According
to Neuendorff, education is critical to help young people meet the
expanding demands of the floral industry. The CFC gift, Neuendorff
hopes, will help offset the rising costs of education.
In
addition to the $18,000 in scholarship awards, 10 percent of each
scholarship will be sent to the awardees' departments. This additional
funding is for the purpose of encouraging students to apply for future
Shinoda Scholarships. The additional scholarship funding totaled
$1,800 for the current year, bringing the total funding awarded in
2006-07 to $19,800.
The
Shinoda Foundation was established in 1964 under the auspices of
the California State Florists' Association in memory of the late
Joseph Shinoda, a highly regarded pioneer of that state's floral
industry. The foundation's purpose is to encourage educational opportunities
for young people interested in entering the industry. Incorporated
as a separate entity in 1972, the foundation has awarded scholarships
valued at over $662,000 to 585 undergraduate floriculture students
since 1965.
Applications
for the Shinoda Foundation's scholarships are distributed each January
to horticulture and floriculture departments at universities across
the nation.

Shinoda
Foundation Increases Award Levels for Floriculture Students
San
Luis Obispo, Calif., Oct. 6, 2005 - It's a fact of life
that as time moves on, even the most basic necessities rise in
price. This hasn't escaped the notice of the Trustees of the
Joseph Shinoda Memorial Scholarship Foundation Inc.
The
board has approved an increase in the Shinoda scholarship awards,
in part to help defray the increased costs of attending schools.
The foundation awards these scholarships to students studying floriculture,
horticulture, and related fields, and has given over $644,000 in
scholarships to 579 undergraduate floriculture students since 1965.
"The
trustees made a decision to increase the amounts of the scholarships
for several reasons," says Paul Ecke III, president of the
Shinoda Foundation. "An increase in the cost of school - and
living in general - was one very important factor." For the
current academic year, the award levels have been increased to
$1,500-$3,500. The six scholarships awarded for 2005-06 totaled
$15,000. The foundation's goal is to give even larger scholarships
in the future.
Cost
of living was just one reason for adjusting award levels. The trustees
hope that increasing the scholarship awards will attract the highest
quality students, encouraging them to apply for the funding and
pursue their careers in floriculture. "We also hope the higher
award values will raise the prestige of the Shinoda Scholarships
in the eyes of the students and their departments," Ecke says.
"The
late Joseph Shinoda, in whose memory these awards are given, was
a highly regarded man in the field. These awards, too, are respected
in the industry and will go a long way toward creating horticulture's
future great leaders."

Shinoda
Awards Offer Unique Benefits to Colleges & Universities
San
Luis Obispo, Calif., Oct. 6, 2005 - Over
the past 30 years, the Joseph Shinoda Memorial Scholarship
Foundation Inc. and its trustees have supported the future
of horticulture through academic scholarships to outstanding
students in the field. The foundation's reach extends even
further with its support of academic departments.
Paul
Ecke III, president of the Shinoda Foundation, said additional
funding is available to horticulture-related academic programs
in conjunction with the Shinoda memorial funds. "In addition
to the set dollar amount awarded with the scholarships, 10 percent
of each scholarship will be sent to the awardees' departments to
help them encourage students to apply for the Shinoda funds," Ecke
added.
This
additional support going toward the academic program is unlike
any other scholarship award currently available to horticulture
students. It is in addition to the award received by the student.
For example, if a student is awarded $3,000, the student's department
will receive $300 in support of efforts to spread the word about
Shinoda scholarship opportunities.
Ecke
and the Shinoda trustees feel the true beneficiaries of these funds
will be the students. "The Shinoda Scholarships make a big
difference in the lives of students hoping to pursue careers in
horticulture," Ecke said.
"We
want to make sure that students are aware these funds exist, and
encourage them to apply for what could be much needed resources
at a critical time in their lives. Partnering with academic departments
is a great way to help increase awareness of the Shinoda Foundation
among those who need it most."
For
2005-06, $15,000 was awarded among six students nationwide. The
Shinoda Foundation awarded another $1,500 divided among those students'
horticultural programs in order to raise awareness among students
of the foundation's scholarships and its mission.
