Charitable Projects Option

Leslie Marting

Did you know that you can designate a portion or even all of your generous charitable projects donation to the Katharine M. Grosscup scholarship? Not familiar with the Grosscup Scholarship? Here’s a brief history…

Katharine MacConnell Grosscup was a member of the Shaker Lakes Garden Club, Zone X. The Scholarship was created in 1981, in memory of Mrs. Grosscup, by her friend, Elizabeth Evans Berdan, a member of the Garden Club of Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. The first chairman of the committee was Mrs. Berdan’s sister-in-law, Elizabeth Whitney Evans, a member of the Garden Club of Cleveland. Applicants to the Scholarship must be rising college sophomores, juniors, seniors or Master’s degree candidates majoring in horticulture or related fields at institutions in Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania or West Virginia.

The Grosscup committee is comprised of three members of the Shaker Lakes Garden Club, and three members of the Garden Club of Cleveland. All applicants are screened, interviewed and selected by the Grosscup committee in Cleveland each February, and approved by the GCA Scholarship Committee. Formerly under the aegis of the Horticulture Committee (the GCA Scholarship Committee was founded in 1989) the Katharine M. Grosscup Scholarships in Horticulture have awarded more than 250 scholarships since 1982.
