Pines Garden Club to offer scholarship to SDHS senior

OCEAN PINES–The Ocean Pines Garden Club will present a $1,500 scholarship to a qualified graduating senior of Stephen Decatur High School.  
The purpose of the OPGC’s scholarship program is to stimulate interest in gardening, horticulture, agriculture and the conservation and protection of the environment, as the greening of America extends to many professional and business industries.
The applicant must be a full-time resident of Ocean Pines, a child or grandchild of a non-resident who is an active member of the Ocean Pines Garden Club, agree to follow the purpose of the scholarship, and plan to attend an accredited institution of higher learning. The award may be used by the recipient to defray expenses at any approved degree or certificate granting college or university, technical or vocational school.
Applicants will be considered by a selection committee composed of members of the OPGC as designated by the president of the club. An application form must be submitted to a senior guidance counselor at Stephen Decatur High School by April 22.  
The OPGC Scholarship Program adheres to a non-discriminatory policy, in both principle and practice, and will not discriminate against candidates on the basis of race, gender, religion, or national origin.
