To further this organization's mission as an educational forum, the
Arizona Herb Association (AHA) has established annual scholarships
for students pursuing fields related to the use and culture of herbs.
The scholarships have been named to honor the AHA founding member and
past president, Jane Haynes. Jane's knowledge and lifelong love of herbs
has been an inspiration to us all. Through the Jane Haynes Scholarships, the
the Arizona Herb Association seeks to encourage the appreciation of herbs in
our society, both in their culinary uses and in horticulture applications.
The scholarships are funded through AHA member donations, special fund
raisers and budget allocations as necessary. A Jane Haynes Scholarship
Awards Committee is established each year and is comprised of AHA members
who review the applications and determine the scholarship recipients.
Donations to the Jane Haynes Scholarships fund may be sent to: Arizona
Herb Association, PO Box 63101, Phoenix, AZ 85082-3101, or submitted to the
Treasurer at any AHA function. All donations are tax-deductible;
donors will receive a letter of receipt for tax purposes.
Students who wish to apply for these scholarships should contact the
financial aid office or department head at their respective schools
for details on the requirements, copy and paste, or print and mail
the application that follows this article. A student may receive the
scholarship only one time during their course of study.
If no applications are received or if those applications do not meet
the standards established by the AHA, the scholarships may not be
awarded in a given year, at the discretion of the Awards Committee
and the AHA Board of Directors.
