Part of the Cedar Creek Lake Garden Club’s mission is to support teaching the art and science of gardening. Our annual Cedars and Cinnamon Home Tour helps fulfill that mission as the proceeds provide scholarships for high school seniors planning to study horticulture, agriculture, landscape architecture, and related subjects. 

 

                                           

 

Six $1,000 scholarships will be awarded. The Cedar Creek Lake Garden Club awards annual scholarships to graduating High School seniors in the Cedar Creek Lake area with a GPA of 3.0 or higher pursuing a college degree in horticulture-related fields*.

 

In addition, the following guidelines will be considered: 

1. Excellence in academic and scholastic performance 

2. Participation in extracurricular, leadership and activities

3. Participation in school and community service 

4. Related horticultural experiences 

 

Application Deadline: March 31, 2024

 

Each student will receive an email confirmation when the completed application and related documentation is received. This scholarship is to provide financial assistance to students attending a college/university anywhere in the United States. 

 

Each student who has won a scholarship will be sent a notification letter by email and U.S. mail. 

Scholarship decisions will be made by April 15th of each year. All scholarships are provided as cash awards and funds will be disbursed once student has completed freshmen year registration and a copy of said registration and student ID is sent to the Cedar Creek Lake Garden Club.
