VALPARAISO | In keeping with their goals of community outreach and "helping others grow" the Porter County Master Gardeners Association invite individuals, groups, or charitable organizations from Porter County to apply for $1,000 scholarships, $500 community service donations, or $250 community grants.
Deadline for each application is April 1. Visit www.pcgarden.info/philanthropy.html.
PCMGA will award up to three, annual, nonrenewable scholarships of $1,000 each to a college sophomore, junior, or senior majoring in the field of landscape design, horticulture, botany or a closely related field.
The Community Service donations of up to $500 will be awarded to organizations involved in some way in gardening or horticulture as explained in the application.
