The Early Bloomers Garden Club presented the South Georgia Technical College Foundation with a donation to provide a scholarship for a student enrolled in the Environmental Horticulture Program recently. This is to be an annual scholarship specifically for the Horticulture program.
Mary Len Walker, President of the Early Bloomers Garden Club, and other members of the club presented the donation to SGTC President Dr. John Watford and SGTC Foundation Executive Director and Vice President of Institutional Advancement Su Ann Bird recently.
“On behalf of South Georgia Technical College and the SGTC Foundation, we would like to thank the Early Bloomers Garden Club for your support of our students and specifically the Environmental Horticulture program,” said President Watford. “This is a great way to give back to students who are learning more about this field and interested in a career in horticulture.”
SGTC Foundation Executive Director Su Ann Bird echoed Dr. Watford’s comments and added her appreciation to the club for their support of the foundation. “Your contribution to this scholarship is helping provide a bright future for horticulture students,” said Bird. “Not only are you enriching the lives of the students who receive the scholarships and their families, but you are also impacting our communities.”
The Early Bloomers Garden Club requests the annual scholarship be awarded to a student enrolled in the SGTC Horticulture Program with excellent work ethics grades, a 2.5 GPA or higher and a recommendation from the Horticulture Instructor.
The Early Bloomers Garden Club Environmental Horticulture Scholarship can be used for tuition, books, fees, tools, housing and cafeteria expenses.
