Garland Awards Anniversary Scholarship to Employee’s Child
The Garland Company, Inc. has awarded a $12,600 scholarship to an employee’s child pursuing higher education. This scholarship was inaugurated in 2020 for the company’s 125th anniversary. Beginning at $12,500 last year, the scholarship will increase by $100 every year to reflect the age of the company.
Employees with children either entering or already enrolled in a college, university, or trade school were invited to submit for this one-time scholarship. Students submitted essays detailing their career aspirations and how this scholarship would help them achieve those goals. The winner was chosen by a third-party team of panelists and the team at Garland has been amazed by the responses.
