CTPA Arborist Scholarship

Application Deadline for 2021 Scholarship Award is December 7, 2020

The Connecticut Tree Protective Association is happy to again be offering the opportunity to apply for the CTPA Arborist Scholarship to students at the college level who are engaged in studying arboriculture or urban forestry.  Since its initiation in 2001, this Scholarship has been awarded thirty times to students of demonstrated potential and commitment to trees and tree care.  In each case, these young men and women have continued on with their education and moved on towards their career goals.

CTPA is very pleased for having had a role to play in helping these worthy young people along this path.  We also look forward to receiving the next set of applications for the 2021 Arborist Scholarship.
