Horticultural Science Summer Institute
July 8-13th, 2012
Through North Carolina State University and North Carolina Cooperative Extension’s 4-H Youth Program with the Department of Horticultural Science.
High
school-aged youth (rising sophomores, juniors and seniors) are invited
to apply to a new weeklong, residential horticultural experience on the
campus of NC State University. Youth will have hands-on opportunities to
explore a broad range of horticultural possibilities from breeding
better fruits and vegetables, growing a diverse selection of woody
ornamentals, lengthening the life of cut flowers, learning sustainable
production practices and delving into tools that enhance our
understanding of plant production processes. Participants will visit a
variety of horticultural businesses. Youth will also be introduced to
career possibilities, college-making decisions and leadership
development.
The cost of the institute will be $500 with a $150 deposit due upon application acceptance. Scholarships may be available.
