The Leaside Garden Society has created a $1,000 scholarship for students in horticulture-related studies in Canada. The candidate must be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident and be enrolled full-time in an undergraduate program in horticulture or a related field of study such as botany, plant science, ecology, landscape architecture or environmental science from an accredited Canadian college or university. Consideration will be given to a candidate pursuing studies at other recognized Canadian institutions, at the discretion of the selection committee. The one-year scholarship will be granted for the coming academic year 2019-2020.. Recipients may reapply for the scholarship in the subsequent years. Candidates who are present or previous residents of Leaside or a relative of a Leaside resident will receive extra consideration. For the purpose of this scholarship, Leaside includes North and South Leaside, Bennington Heights and Thorncliffe Park. Check the conditions at the LSG site. Candidates must submit the following between May 30 and June 30.
