Applications are open for the Garden Club of America (GCA) Summer Scholarship in Field Botany 2025. The program aims to support students' field studies and offer an opportunity to gain knowledge and experience beyond the regular course of study.
Opportunity Details
In the late 1990s, to help offset the trend of declining or consolidated botany programs at colleges and universities the Garden Club of America's Scholarship Committee added a proposal for a summer scholarship in field botany to its list of possible new offerings. Beginning in 2000, Mrs. Henry Streeter, an ardent horticulturist and member of the North Shore Garden Club of Massachusetts, generously offered to fund this opportunity.
See applications and instructions. Applications must be submitted electronically or sent by mail to be received at GCA Headquarters in New York City by February 1 preceding the summer of study. PLEASE NOTE: ONLY ONE GCA SCHOLARSHIP, FELLOWSHIP OR AWARD MAY BE APPLIED FOR ANNUALLY.
