Annual Scholarships

In memory of long-time Honorary member Richard J. Kulpinski (1938-2017), the North Andover Garden Club grants two scholarships to local graduating seniors. We honor Richard this way for his vast horticultural knowledge, his many contributions to the North Andover Garden Club, and his educational achievements, as well as his kindness, generosity, energy and remarkable talent for mentorship.

Our club's fundraising, mainly the Annual Plant Sale, held in June, supports our scholarship funding.​​​​

North Andover Garden Club Memorial Scholarship awards are open to all graduating high school seniors who reside in North Andover and to children and grandchildren of a North Andover Garden Club member. The scholarship is available for students who will be majoring in horticulture, botany, agriculture, landscape design, forestry, conservation, or environmental studies; including marine, wildlife, and climate, or a closely related field. The Garden Club offers this scholarship to encourage interest in horticulture and conservation, which is our mission. The scholarships will be paid directly to the institution in which the student is enrolled.

Our 2025 Scholarship application will be available for downloading from this website in early 2025.  For more information, please CONTACT us. â€‹â€‹â€‹
