About Us
Now known as the Colegrave Seabrook Foundation, the David Colegrave Foundation was set up in 1993, following the death of seedsman, David Colegrave. During his career, David Colegrave took a keen interest in supporting and promoting the development of young people, and it was with this in mind that the David Colegrave Foundation was launched shortly after his death. His great friend and fellow horticulturist, Peter Seabrook, became one of the founder trustees and remained a very active trustee until his death in January 2022. Peter shared David’s passion for horticulture and encouraging young people to join the industry. The trustees, with the blessing of the Seabrook family, felt that changing the name to The Colegrave Seabrook Foundation would be a fitting and lasting tribute to Peter’s untiring work to promote horticulture as a career and his tremendous support and enthusiasm for the industry as a whole. The name change took place in June 2022, but the fundamental principles and aims of the Foundation to support students studying horticulture and plant sciences, and to promote horticulture as a career, remain the same.

A group of students or a college tutor may apply to be considered for a group trip either in the UK or abroad. Please apply on line using the designated form. You may do this at any point in the year, but it is advisable to get your request in as early as possible
Award
Up to £1,000 to support an educational study trip for a group of students to increase their knowledge of commercial horticulture production.
Deadline
Ideally a minimum of 3 months prior to the intended departure date.
Graduate Intern Fellowship in Toxicology Award
The SOT recognizes that diverse training experiences facilitate successful entry of graduate students into a professional position in toxicology. The Graduate Intern Fellowship in Toxicology (GIFT) provides up to $3,000 to cover costs to enable a graduate student to obtain experience not normally included in graduate training. Immersion in internships provides students unique appreciation of the day-to-day activities of toxicologists and paths for success in industry, government, and non-profit organizations. Additional information and links to example opportunities are found on the GIFT web page. The James Bond-Michele Medinsky Graduate Student Development Temporary Fund supports this award.
GIFT awards are made to outstanding doctoral students who have identified supplementary areas of professional/scientific development that will advance their career goals in toxicology. Applications require the proposal of an internship outside of the trainee’s academic institution. Priority will be given to students proposing a toxicology-related internship with clearly stated objectives, research project goals, career development-related activities, and methodologies to be acquired.
One award of up to $3,000 may be given for May-August 2025 to support travel to the internship site, local housing, and/or stipend if not provided by the internship host. The SOT funds requested would close gaps in funds available from the internship host and home institution. All internships should last at least six consecutive weeks between May and August. These must occur during the degree program (for example, cannot be an add-on at the end of a degree program to help a student stay funded), and scope must be outside the available resources of the applicant’s graduate training or research program.
If the deadline for the application is before acceptance into the internship, the application and host documentation should state this. Once accepted, the applicant should upload the acceptance notice to the application in SOT Apply. The SOT award will be finalized only after confirmation of acceptance into the internship.
Administered by the Education and Experiential Opportunities Committee (EEOC), one award of up to $3,000 is given each year.
Awardees are required to provide brief follow-up communications on the funded experience, which will highlight their receipt of the award and benefits of the experience to their graduate education and professional advancement.
