This includes studies such as horticulture, plant sciences, botany, agronomy, plant pathology and water management. Eligibility, as determined by a committee made up of members of the Project EverGreen board of directors, extends to 2- and 4-year program students attending institutions that offer turf, landscape and golf management curriculums.
