Two horticulture students at Pennsylvania College of Technology each received $1,250 scholarships during the Pennsylvania Landscape and Nursery Association Foundation's recent member-celebration dinner at the Lancaster County Convention Center.
The scholarships were awarded to Samuel W. Hanmer, of Harrisburg, and Jeremy L. Thorne, of Sugarloaf, both enrolled in the two-year landscape-horticulture technology: landscape emphasis major at the college's Schneebeli Earth Science Center.
"Jeremy and Sam are just two outstanding examples of excellence in our program," said Carl J. Bower Jr., a horticulture instructor in the School of Natural Resources Management. "Their leadership, work ethic, and dedication to the program and the industry are just a few reasons they are deserving of this scholarship."
