The Wellington Garden Club awarded $1,000 scholarships to five worthy local students at the group’s annual luncheon held Monday, May 6 in the Grande Ballroom at the Wellington Community Center.
One of the requirements to receive the scholarship is that the student must be majoring in fields related to horticulture, botany or environmental studies. The winners were chosen based on their academic proficiency and need.
The Scholarship Committee was proud to present scholarships to the following students: Michelle Redfern (Palm Beach State College), Lisbet Roa (Palm Beach State College), Delia Hartley (University of Florida), LeMarria Battle (University of Florida) and Cory Evans (Palm Beach State College).
Since the inception of scholarship awards, the Wellington Garden Club has given about $50,000 in scholarships. Fundraisers help support this program.
