The scholarship is funded through donations from the generous GTGC members, fundraising events and the Walton County community.  The scholarship award has grown to $3,000. for 2022.  The detailed application requirements and forms are available on the GTGC website, www.greenthumbgardenclubinc.org.

Club member Debbie Michel is the GTGC Scholarship Committee Chairperson, and her contact information is on the application form which must be submitted no later than April 30, 2022.  Please contact Debbie Michel with any questions or email thegreenthumbgardenclubinc@gmail.com.

The scholarship is for tuition only and paid directly to the college, university, or technical school.  The winner will be requested to make a presentation at the award ceremony for the scholarship in May 2022.
