Poynter Landscape Scholarship: Why Do You Love the Outdoors?

Earn $500 toward your education by telling your story! Poynter Landscape is excited to announce our current scholarship essay contest for STLCC Meramec Horticultre students. See below for scholarship contest terms.

At Poynter Landscape, we understand the profound impact nature and outdoor spaces have on our lives. To inspire the next generation of (potential) landscapers and hardcapers in St. Louis, we are thrilled to announce our first scholarship specifically for student of Horticulture at STLCC's Meramec campus. This initiative invites STLCC students to talk about their favorite outdoor spaces through a thoughtful essay.

Essay Prompt & Submission Requirements

A 500-1,000 word essay about “Why Do You Love the Outdoors?”

We want to hear about your personal experiences with your favorite outdoor space. Whether it’s the tranquility of a secluded forest, the beauty of a backyard garden, or the adventure of a rugged trail, share why the outdoors holds a special place in your heart. Provide a personal and thoughtful perspective.

For your essay, please:

  • include your full name and an essay title
  • write between 500 – 1,000 words (longer does not always mean better!)
  • attach it as a PDF, txt, doc, or docx file
  • send it in by January 14, 2025

One winner will be selected based on a quality essay and adherence to the submission rules and requirements. The winning essay will utilize correct grammar and spelling, meet the submission deadline, demonstrate strong writing skills and approach the prompt from a unique and personal perspective. You may follow any accepted style (AP, MLA, Chicago or other) of your choosing.
