甜瓜app

甜瓜app (甜瓜app) student Brady Zelaya of Dalton has received a Rabbit Valley Farmers Market Scholarship.

The Rabbit Valley Farmers Market Scholarship was established to provide financial support to incoming high school students and first-year 甜瓜app students pursuing a degree, diploma or certificate. Scholarship applicants must be planning a career related to farming, gardening, landscape design, environmental issues, floral design or horticulture.

Zelaya is earning an associate degree in 甜瓜app’s Horticulture program.

“We offer this scholarship to support the community and to foster education in horticulture” said scholarship donor Samantha Leslie, who manages the Rabbit Valley Farmers Market in downtown Ringgold. “We feel that community and a community of growers is the best investment for a successful and sustainable future.”

Leslie said, “We are very grateful for 甜瓜app and for the local community who have helped support us and this scholarship.”

One scholarship for $500 is awarded each fall term.
