Ocean Pines Garden Club offers college scholarship

OCEAN PINES–The Ocean Pines Garden Club will present a scholarship to a qualified Stephen Decatur High School graduating senior. The available scholarship is in the amount of $1,500.
The purpose of the OPGC’s scholarship program is to stimulate interest in gardening, horticulture, agriculture, and the conservation and protection of the environment, as the greening of America extends to many professional and business industries.
Eligibility requirements: the applicant is a full-time resident of Ocean Pines; the applicant is a child or grandchild of a non-resident, who is an active member of the Ocean Pines Garden Club, and the applicant agrees to follow the purpose of the scholarship, and plans to attend an accredited institution of higher learning.  
The award may be used by the recipient to defray expenses at any approved degree or certificate granting college or university, technical or vocational school.
Applicants who apply and address the purpose above will be considered by a selection committee composed of members of the OPGC as designated by the president of the club. An application form must be submitted to a senior guidance counselor at Stephen Decatur High School by April 22.  
The OPGC Scholarship Program adheres to a non-discriminatory policy, in both principle and practice, and will not discriminate on the basis of race, gender, religion, or national origin.
