To be eligible, the student must be currently enrolled in a college turfgrass management program at an accredited institution of higher learning prior to completing their last year. Their work history should include at least one summer's employment under the supervision of a NOGCSA member superintendent. The employment time frame should coincide with the student's college attendance. Deadline for application is November 1, by postmark, for the next beginning year. Students must complete and submit the application and supply official transcripts from all universities attended and high school. Scholarship applications are available through the NOGCSA.
