Kent Co. Master Gardeners Award Scholarships

Three students have each received a $1,000 scholarship from the Kent Co. Master Gardeners. The scholarships, funded solely from profits from the annual Plant Sale in April, were awarded at a dinner meeting at the Paradee Center. Earning the scholarships were: Nathan Adamson from Dover, who will be a junior at the University of Delaware, studying plant science with a minor in biology and landscape horticulture; Lindsey Bethard from Magnolia, who will be a sophomore at the University of Delaware, studying Agriculture Education; and Amanda Fabi from Felton, who will enter the University of Delaware in the fall planning to major in Animal Biotechnology/Wildlife Biology. According to Kathleen Berhalter, chair of the scholarship committee, these students were chosen from “an impressive field of applicants.” They all came with high grade point averages and excellent recommendations.
