| Bursaries |
|
Through its bursaries scheme, the RHS provides financial support for a wide range of horticultural projects both abroad and in the UK. Bursaries generally range between £100 and £3,000. |
|
| Bursary Funds |
|
The monies that translate into the bursaries are generated primarily from bequests and donations by benefactors wishing to further the interests of horticulture and horticultural education. On awarding a bursary the Committee will select the most appropriate fund for the proposed project . . . |
