In this Kent State University article, Davey Tree, with Eugene W. and Betty Haupt, and Kent State Salem partner to provide one year of free tuition for incoming horticulture technology students.
Kent State University at Salem is offering scholarships that provide free tuition for a qualified student’s first year while seeking an associate of applied science degree in horticulture technology. The scholarships are made possible through the Eugene W. and Betty Haupt-The Davey Tree Expert Company endowment. 
To qualify, a student must be a new freshman; with a 2.0 grade point average; a completed FAFSA form; and declare horticulture technology as his/her major.
The scholarships are funded through an endowment established by the late Eugene Haupt, an executive with The Davey Tree Expert Company, who retired in 1990 after a career of 52 years. He last served as president of the Davey Tree Surgery Company in Livermore, Calif., and served on the Davey Tree board of directors for many years.
Haupt started at Davey in 1939 and held several positions in the field before working his way up to his most meaningful role at Davey in 1969 when he was named general manager of the Davey Tree Surgery Company. He was later named executive vice president and general manager and eventually promoted to president of the Surgery Company in 1985.
