Students from the following counties could have applied for the scholarship which include Calhoun, Tate, Quitman, Yalobusha, Marshall, Tallahatchie, DeSoto, Tunica, Benton, Lafayette, and Panola.
In order to be considered for this scholarship, students complete the application process and submit it to the Northwest Foundation for consideration. At Northwest scholarship recipient John Duncan’s plan is to study forestry which fulfills the requirement of the DCGC winner to have a major in some form of horticulture or forestry. This year the DCGC was able to provide funds for the scholarship through the club’s biennial fundraiser held in April of 2024 at Longview Point Baptist Church in Hernando.
