The City Gardens Club welcomes the scholarship application of any certified New York City public school teacher who teaches in the classroom at the pre- kindergarten, kindergarten, elementary, middle, or high school level. Please note: Depending on demand, qualified applicants who have never applied for a scholarship may receive priority over other applicants who have received scholarships.
Decide which Workshop Program you would like to apply to for a scholarship.
Review descriptions, dates and target grade levels of Workshop Programs. Pick the program that best meets your needs. Please mark your calendar to ensure you are available for any program you select if you are awarded a scholarship.
Submit Application and a Recommendation by the deadline (which is different for each workshop).
- Access the application and fill it in online. A link to the application form will be found at the end of these instructions.
- Review the application and submit it by hitting the “submit” button once. You will receive an acknowledgement email shortly after your application is received.
- Request a recommendation from your Principal or Assistant Principal on official letterhead. This letter of recommendation must be sent as an attachment directly from the recommender’s official DOE email address to [email protected].
Deadline
Both the Application and a Recommendation must be submitted by the deadlines noted. Please note that your application will not be considered until we have received your letter of recommendation.
The City Gardens Club will acknowledge receipt of both your application and recommendation via email. If you do not receive these confirmation emails, please contact us at [email protected].
The CGC Scholarship Committee reviews all applications once the deadline has passed, and scholarship decisions are made promptly thereafter.
