Rehoboth Garden Club Scholarship

The Rehoboth Garden Club will once again be awarding a second semester $2,000 scholarship to a high school senior or graduate student from Rehoboth or surrounding communities.

The scholarship has been renamed the Caroline “Pat” Knowles Scholarship, to honor the memory of our distinguished member who passed away in 2020. Pat chaired the scholarship committee for many years, and took great pleasure in choosing the recipients and getting to know them.

Applicants must have been accepted to an accredited college or graduate school, and major in some area of natural science. Those areas include agricultural science, landscape architecture or design, forestry, environmental sciences, land use management, horticulture, agronomy, soil and crop science or marine biology.

To request an application call 508-252-4224. The deadline for submitting applications is August 15, 2021. The scholarship will be awarded in September 2021.

Our club would like to recognize and thank Val Souza from Souza Family Farm and Mary Hollinshead for their efforts and generosity in support of our Caroline “Pat” Knowles Scholarship Fund.

We are always happy to welcome new members. For information, please call Judith Doty at 508-567-5276.

Happy Gardening!
