Garden Club of Cape Coral Scholarship

The 2024 application for Merit Scholarship Awards, offered by the Garden Club of Cape Coral (GCCC), is now open and available at: https://www.gardenclubofcapecoral.com/meritaward-active  found on the Garden Club of Cape Coral home page under Awards.

Completed applications must be emailed to Janice Johnson at:

meritaward@gardenclubofcapecoral.com no later than midnight, Friday, February 20, 2024.

The Purpose of Scholarships: The intent of the Garden Club scholarship program is to find and reward graduating high school seniors who have demonstrated serious interest and involvement in studies and activities dedicated to environmental preservation, horticulture, agriculture, biology/botany, natural resources, conservation, or hydrology. Although not a requirement, applicants who have clear future goals in fields such as those just mentioned – either through their college studies and/or for life after college – may be judged more favorably. However, Club members recognize that current serious actual commitment to the environment is likely to resurface as future commitment; consequently, this is given greater weight during judging of the applications.

Cape Coral Mayor Scholarship 

The Cape Coral Mayor Scholarship Board is ready to receive applications from our local High School Seniors. Our scholarship process is maintained by the Collaboratory, so dates and requirements cannot be adjusted. Applications MUST be received by January 11, 2023.
