We had a fantastic May meeting at Raemelton Farm and Nursery! Great tour and presentation on all of the interesting trees that they are growing and how they manage the nursery. We also presented our 2026 Scholarship winner, Andrew Heffner a student at UMD College Park, with a check for $1,500. Congratulations, Andrew!

The mission of the Professional Grounds Management Society, D.C. Branch, is to foster integrity and excellence in grounds management by promoting professional development through education programs, networking, community service, and fellowship. As part of this effort, the D.C. Branch offers a scholarship to those interested in pursuing higher education in a horticulturally-related field.

Offered annually, our scholarship provides financial aid to students currently studying landscape and grounds management, arboriculture, turf management, irrigation technology, or a closely related field.

Many of our past scholarship winners have gone on to be leaders in our industry and we encourage our members to sponsor a student's application.

At least one scholarship of $1500 will be awarded. Other scholarship awards are at the discretion of the Scholarship Committee

The top recipient will receive complimentary student membership to PGMS for one year and have the opportunity to attend the Green Industry Seminar and the Green Industry Field Day. PGMS will pay for the scholarship recipients’ seminar and field day registration.

Please share the application with anyone whom you think may be interested or reach out to a Board member with any questions!

Deadline for application is March 1. Here's the link to the scholarship application:
