The GCA Katharine M. Grosscup Scholarships in Horticulture

Leslie Marting

The GCA Katharine M. Grosscup Scholarships in Horticulture saw an increase in the number and quality of applications in January of 2020.  We are pleased to be able to support seven students, including four Master’s degree candidates, for a total of $19,500. (Click here to read bios of the recipients.)

  • Patricia Cordero-Irizarry, Master’s in Soil Science, Ohio State 

  • Zack Fox, B.S. in Environmental Studies & Natural History, Hiram College

  • Jenna Happach, Master’s in Landscape Architecture, U. of Michigan

  • Kasandra Hernandez, B.S. in Horticulture, Ohio State 

  • Megan Hermann, Master’s in Plant Ecology, Cleveland State 

  • Andy Polefrone, Master’s in Landscape Architecture, Ohio State 

  • Tanner Prewitt, B.S. in Landscape Architecture, Ball State 

As you might imagine, Covid-19 has changed the plans and programs of many of our students.  Since the Grosscup scholarship funds undergraduates as well as graduates, we do not require the completion of a particular study or project, unlike a number of the other GCA scholarships.  I am happy to say that all of our scholars are enrolled in their programs for the fall, and though several of the graduate students will have to adjust plans, all are still eligible for the Scholarship.

I would like to once again thank the many generous members of the Shaker Lakes Garden Club who designated Charitable Projects funds in the amount of $1,650 for the Grosscup this year.
