Eligible students may obtain an application from their Guidance Counselor in February each year. A completed application, personal letter and high school transcript are due by April 26, 2019. The personal letter must address the following questions:
-Why would you like to receive this scholarship?
-Why did you choose this particular field?
-What are your long-term future career plans?
-Is there any other informaiton that you believe would be helpful to the committee in making its
decision? If so, what is it?
A letter of recommendation and/or news articles about the student are helpful, but not required.
The recipient will be notified during the week following Mother's Day. The Pinelands Garden Club Scholar is expected to attend the club's June Luncheon. Thank you to everyone that supports the Pinelands Garden Club Ways & Means through our fundraisers including the Christmas Boutique at St. Mary of the Lakes School, our Afternoon Floral Tea and our annual Plant Sale!
