The purpose of this scholarship is to provide funding to help defray expenses for graduate students presenting a paper or poster at a national or international professional meeting or conference. The ENH department named this scholarship after the late Dr. Jasper Joiner, a distinguished teacher, and researcher in the Environmental Horticulture Department, who established the endowment to fund these scholarships.

Students must make a presentation (oral or poster) on their original research at a national or international meeting or conference and must have the support of their major advisor to attend.
