About this opportunity
The John Wright Memorial Scholarship funds one student scholarship per year. This scholarship was established at the TREE Fund by Wright Tree Service in honor and memory of its founder, John L. Wright, and his son, John R. Wright. The purpose of this one-year scholarship is to support the arboriculture industry by helping college students interested in commercial arboriculture achieve high academic goals without accumulating burdensome debt. One $5,000 scholarship will be awarded annually, to be paid in two increments, one in the fall semester and one in the spring (second payment is contingent upon re-enrollment and GPA standards being met). The award is non-renewable but can be applied for annually. All awards will be paid directly to the educational institution attended by the recipient and may only be applied to tuition expenses. Special consideration will be given for honorably discharged veterans and present members of the United States Armed Forces, Reserves and National Guard.
