Each year the PGMS Scholarship Committee awards scholarships to students in horticulture or related fields. The awards committee looks for students who have solid grades and past or current employment in the green industry, involvement in the industry with apprentice or professional organizations as well as civic projects and outreach programs. The committee also looks for any personal development classes and involvement in sports or clubs. Students must be sponsored by PGMS members.

“The scholarship program is a wonderful way to recognize interns that work for you or college students you meet in the industry,” says Scholarship Committee Chairman Gerald Dobbs, CGM.
