Essex Garden Club 2022 Scholarship Awards
|
The Essex Garden Club is pleased to announce the recipients of its 2022 college scholarships. The scholarships are awarded to students who are pursuing studies related to the environment. Tabitha Hardgrove, a 2020 graduate of Valley Regional High School, and a sophomore at Rochester Institute of Technology, is pursuing a degree in Biology. Tabitha would like to become a research scientist, evaluating sources and cures for viruses and infectious diseases, many of which are found in the environment. Nathaniel Hill, a 2021 graduate of Valley Regional High School, and a freshman at University of Vermont’s Rubenstein School of Environment and Natural Resources is pursuing a degree in Natural Resources. Nathaniel is interested in species conservation and biodiversity initiatives.
In addition, the garden club will provide scholarships to help 16 children from the Essex communities attend area environmental camps offered by The Incarnation Center. The proceeds from the club’s annual May Market make these scholarships possible along with a grant received from Essex Savings Bank. The club thanks all who supported this endeavor. |
