Each year the PGMS scholarship committee awards monetary scholarships to students in horticulture or related fields. Applicants must be at least in their first year of college or may be recently graduated from high school (within the calendar year).
The top recipient will also have the opportunity to attend the GIE+Expo in Louisville in the autumn. PGMS will pay for the scholarship recipients’ conference registration and a travel allowance as well.
As we interact with the professionals of tomorrow in the work place and on campus, this is a great member benefit to promote PGMS and professionalism in our industry.
*Scholarship application deadline is January 1.
All applicants must submit the following by mail to PGMS:
1. The completed scholarship application. Download the application form.

4. College or school transcripts.
5. Two (2) letters of recommendation. These should be from an instructor, employer, etc.
6. A letter from the PGMS member who is sponsoring the applicant.
