Educational Support Scholarship Application

This Educational Support is designed to assist current active Butler County Master Gardeners in one of two ways while funds are available:

1.  State Conference Fees (maximum of the lesser of what the yearly fee is or $100 each). This is limited to 60% of what the BCMG Board of Directors allocates for the year to the Scholarship Committee for Member Educational Support. For 2023, this equates to a maximum of $600.

2.  Outside Educational Opportunities/Classes (maximum award of the lesser of what half the fee is for the opportunity/class or $100 per person per year). This is limited to 40% of what the BCMG Board of Directors allocates for the year to the Scholarship Committee for Member Educational Support. For 2023, this equates to a maximum of $400.

For consideration for educational support and determined by the BCMG Scholarship Committee, this form must be completed in full and submitted to the BCMG Scholarship Committee Chair (2023 – Christine Matacic - cmatacic@fuse.net) either electronically or via hard copy 30-days prior to the conference or educational opportunity/class. This will give the committee time to evaluate the request, ensure funds are still available, and notify the requestor.
