Scholarships
The Spade and Trowel Club believes in the importance of education. In 2022, the club awarded a $1000 Scholarship through the Kennett Education Foundation to a Kennett High School graduating senior interested in Horticulture and/or Environmental Studies. Qualified candidates are screened and chosen through the guidance counselors at the school. This scholarship is being awarded annually, with the amount reviewed each year. For 2023, $1500 was given to our recipient.
