Are you or someone you know a student working toward a degree in arboriculture? The Horace Thayer Scholarship is sponsored by Penn-Del ISA and TreePennsylvania, and offers money to help cover the education costs for the next generation of arborists.

If you know of a qualified and motivated student who is working toward an associate's, bachelor's, or graduate degree in arboriculture, urban forestry, or a related field, please encourage them to complete the online application by April 15th. The $5,000 scholarship is being administered by Penn-Del ISA and is for the 2026-2027 academic year.

There's not much time left to apply, so please pass this along to students and/or colleagues who might be able to spread the word further. Thank you for helping to develop and encourage professional arborists in Pennsylvania and Delaware!
