Purpose: To foster British-American relations through the interchange of scholars in horticulture, landscape architecture, and related fields and to promote the exchange of information in the horticultural field.
Provisions: The RHS Interchange Fellowship provides up to 12,000 GBP for one American student to spend ten months working and studying at leading horticultural centers or historic and botanic gardens in the UK, gaining valuable exposure to British horticultural techniques and developing contacts with the wealth of experience that the RHS has established with British horticulture.
Eligibility: The RHS Interchange Fellowship is open to a single, unaccompanied American college graduate who has earned a BA or BS degree. Applicants must be 26 or younger, because of the age limit on student travel vouchers in Great Britain and Europe. Selected finalists are required to attend an interview at their own expense and will be notified of the time and place.
