Pottawatomie Garden Club Scholarships

The Pottawatomie Garden Club will be awarding two $4,000 scholarships this year to students who live in the St. Charles Unit District 303 boundaries and who are planning to major in college in horticulture, landscape architecture, environmental science and related fields.

The applicants must reside within the St. Charles school district boundaries.

Applications are available in the high school counselor’s office or on the website at pottagardenclub.org. The deadline for submission is April 15, 2026.

Since 1928, the members of Pottawatomie Garden Club have made St. Charles a more beautiful community. Club members plant flowers on the Main Street and Illinois bridges, and around the Municipal building each spring and fall; the honor past members with the Memorial Tree Program; and they present an annual Landscape Commendation Award to businesses in the township.

The club also awards annual scholarships to horticulture students and provides support to gardening and environmental projects in the community.
