Lynnwood, WALocal News

The Floretum Garden Club of Edmonds is excited to announce a $2,500 scholarship for the 2025 academic year, specifically designed for high school graduates, community college students, and individuals pursuing a career in horticulture. This scholarship is funded by the successful annual plant sale organized by the club, which emphasizes the importance of community engagement in supporting educational initiatives. Applicants will be evaluated on several criteria, including their interest in horticulture or related fields, financial need, and legal residency status. Additionally, the club will consider the applicants' activities and achievements both in school and in their communities. This scholarship not only aims to alleviate the financial burden of education but also to encourage the next generation to engage in horticulture, a field that contributes significantly to local ecosystems and economies.

The deadline for scholarship applications is May 16, 2025, providing ample time for interested candidates to prepare their submissions. For further details and to access the application form, prospective applicants can follow the link provided in the announcement.
