The Master Gardener Foundation of Whatcom
County is offering up to two scholarships at $1000 each to a student
who is pursuing or plans to pursue a career in Horticulture, Agriculture,
or a related field.
The student may attend any institution that offers an accredited
program leading to a degree, diploma, or certificate in Horticulture,
Agriculture, or a related field.
Each year the Master Gardener
Foundation will set aside 10 percent of its income for the scholarship
