SCHOLARSHIP

The Osterville Garden Club awards scholarships to residents of Barnstable who are seniors currently attending local public schools (Barnstable High School, Sturgis School East or West, or Cape Cod Regional Technical High School in Harwich).

In 2016, four Barnstable seniors received scholarships totaling $7,000.  The students attended the Osterville Garden Club June luncheon to receive their scholarships and members were delighted to hear their future plans.  We received the following meaningful thank you note from one recipient:
Dear Osterville Garden Club,
I am writing to you today to express my gratitude for the generous scholarship that you have given me.   Your generosity and kindness will forever inspire me in all of my future endeavors so that I may return to the community and help it grow to the extent that it helped me grow.  I cannot begin to express how impactful receiving this scholarship has been in terms of renewing my faith in the world. 
Thank you again.”
