Scholarships

The Milford Garden Club offers up to three to four college scholarships a year to high school seniors.  The monetary amount can vary each year. For 2023, we are giving out two $2000 scholarships. Scholarships are offered to senior students in  the Huron Valley School system.

In applying for a scholarship, students are asked to answer the following questions:
1. How do you plan to finance your education?
2. Personal interests: school activities, hobbies, volunteer service.
3. Work experience.

 A written essay is also required, of at least 1 page, telling why we should select them to
receive our scholarship. The following were chosen from twelve applicants in 2022:
