Investing in the Future: TNLA Foundation Scholarships

The future of the Texas green industry depends on the next generation — students who are passionate about horticulture, landscaping, and nursery management. Since 1968, the TNLA Foundation has awarded over $1.1 million in scholarships to help students turn that passion into careers.

This year, we were proud to award $22,250 in scholarships to a group of outstanding 2025 recipients, including students like Lauren Lasus (Sam Houston State University), Caleb Anderson (West Texas A&M University), and Kyla Diaz (Texas A&M University)

Their achievements remind us why investing in education matters — every scholarship helps ensure a stronger, more skilled workforce for our industry.

As past winner Lauren Lasus shared, winning a TNLA award is more than recognition — it’s a spark that motivates students to lead, innovate, and give back.
