GCLA Scholarship Program

Since its inception, the GCLA has placed a

priority on providing scholarships to students seeking degrees in the “Green Industry.”  Our scholarship programs includes a fund-raising golf tournament in the spring and an  auction in the summer.  Our golf tournaments are wonderful, fun events with plenty of door prizes. The certified auctioneer makes our auction one of the best in the area.  We always have lots of fun and food while raising funds for the students.

 

Since 2000, the GCLA  has distributed in excess of $100,000 in scholarships.  In addition to annual scholarships given to individual students in horticultural or related studies, the GCLA has funded a $25,000 endowed scholarship at Clemson University, and sponsors students from

Clemson Universityparticipating in the PLANET program. 

The total scholarships awarded to individual students in 2012 were $4,200.
