California Bonsai Society is proud to announce The Ben Oki Bonsai Scholarship Fund. The California Bonsai Society (CBS) has set up a scholarship fund to honor Ben Oki, a man who devoted most of his life to enjoying and sharing bonsai. Ben was happiest when he was sharing his knowledge or working on a tree. To honor Ben’s sharing spirit, we will be making two $1000 grants available to anyone in the bonsai community to be used to attend classes, workshops, studying with a professional, or other bonsai-related educational activity. Winners will be expected to do something to give back to the bonsai community in some way such as a club demonstration or online video showing what they’ve learned as a result of receiving the scholarship as well as providing photos and a short write-up of their experience. To apply, send an email to CaliforniaBonsaiSociety10@gmail.com. In that email, explain what you intend to do with the money to improve your bonsai skills, and what you will commit to doing to give back to the bonsai community. Be creative! Applicants who receive scholarships agree that, in return for these funds, within 15 days of completing classes (or whichever activity they put this scholarship toward) they will provide photos and a short write-up of their experience using the scholarship that will be published in the California Bonsai Society website newsletter. The application period will be from May 1 through May 30 annually with the scholarships awarded on June 15. Applications will be accepted from anyone in the bonsai community. Awarding of the scholarships will be by decision of a committee of California Bonsai Society Board members after going through all applicants. All committee decisions are final. Everyone in the bonsai community is encouraged to apply for this chance to expand your own bonsai knowledge and to help contribute to the bonsai community. Anyone interested in contributing to the scholarship fund as a way to honor Ben and to help promote bonsai is more than welcome to contact Robert Pressler, President of The California Bonsai Society, at the above email. We are a privately funded 501c3 corporation so any contributions may be tax deductible. Please feel free to share this with your clubs, groups, etc..
