The Garden Club of America Montine M. Freeman Scholarship in Native Plant Studies aims to encourage the understanding, development and use of underutilized native plants. This scholarship is open to college undergraduates and graduate students, advanced degree candidates, or non- degree-seeking applicants above the high school level. This scholarship provides funds to one or more students to support study at an accredited college, university, or major botanic garden or arboretum. Projects may include, but are not restricted to, plant propagation, and the acquisition of skills for working with native plant collections, including techniques for incorporating them in managed landscapes. Photographic and written documentation of studies and research projects may be considered. Two letters of recommendations are required. Applications must be submitted electronically or sent by mail to be received at GCA Headquarters in New York City. Please visit the scholarship's website for more information.
