Description: This scholarship is open to U.S. students who have been accepted into an undergraduate horticulture or landscape architecture program at an accredited North Carolina postsecondary institution. Students must reside in the Winston-Salem Foundation's service area, and have a grade point average of 2.0 or higher and financial need.

Application requirements for the Garden Club Council of Winston-Salem and Forsyth County Scholarship are:

  • Application form
  • Official Transcript
  • Tax return(s)
Additional Information: All applicants must demonstrate financial need (but not restricted to lower incomes). The student's financial need and merit will be equally weighted. In order to be eligible to apply for financial aid from the Foundation, 50 percent or more of the student's college courses must be taken in a traditional classroom setting. A Student Aid committee of The Winston-Salem Foundation will select recipients. The committee reserves the right to rescind an award should a recipient's circumstances change, such as failure to graduate from high school or failure to enroll at an accredited institution. The Foundation reserves the right to withhold the award in the event that no applicants are deemed to meet the qualifications.

Award Amount: $1,500 annually, renewable for one additional year if the student maintains full-time enrollment and a grade point average of 2.0 or higher and continues in an eligible major. Recipients must submit an official transcript to the Foundation by Jul. 1 each year to renew. Scholarships will be applied to the cost of undergraduate tuition, fees, room and board, and other college expenses. Once recipient(s) have been selected, checks will be issued jointly to the college and to the recipient, and will be mailed to the recipient's home address for the student to deliver to the college's financial aid office. Separate checks will be issued for fall and spring semesters. Check processing requires approximately two weeks.  The total dollars awarded for this scholarship is $3,000.
