Scholarships
The Davey Arbor Grant Program
The Davey Arbor Grant Program
provides financial assistance to
students in colleges and universities
pursuing studies in the green
industry. One recipient, James
Cwiklik, said that the Arbor Grant
helped him manage tuition expenses
and encouraged him to pursue
opportunities in urban forestry. He
joined the Davey Resource Group
upon graduation, obtained the Ohio
Department of Agriculture Commercial
Pesticide Applicator License and
prepared for International Society of
Arboriculture (ISA) certification. "In a
lot of ways the grant helped lead me
to my current success and I couldn't
be more thankful," he said. The
Arbor Grant program not only assists
quality students in reaching their
education objectives, but it also helps
our company attract the best and
the brightest.
IN 2013, WE AWARDED
DAVEY ARBOR GRANTS
TO 43 UNIVERSITY
STUDENTS
THROUGHOUT THE U.S.
