DENNIS MALONE MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP AWARD - Monday, March 01, 2010

DENNIS MALONE MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP AWARD

PROGRAM

The Connecticut Parks Association was formed in 1958. The purpose of the organization is to promote park accession, development, maintenance, and preservation in the state and its communities. It is also intended to develop a network and fellowship among park professionals in the state. Membership is open to professional executive and superintendent level managers of park systems and related fields, commercial vendors, and other persons who exhibit high interest and contribution to the purpose of the Association.

The scholarship award program was named in honor of Dennis Malone after he passed away in 1998. Dennis was a past president of the Association and founder of the scholarship program. The scholarship serves to perpetuate the memory of Dennis Malone by making scholarship awards to future professionals who display potential for this profession.

The scholarship awards are open to applicants who are high school graduating seniors planning to attend an accredited two or four year college and pursue a career in park management, forestry, horticulture, agronomy, or a closely related field. Scholarships may be awarded up to $1,000, depending on the number of recipients.

Selection for the awards is based on financial need, academic achievement, and involvement in activities related to the intended course of study. Interested applicants should complete the application available at www.ctparks.org under “Announcements”

and return no later than April 18 to Gerard G. Toner, Chairman, C.P.A. Scholarship Committee, 26 Ridge Rd. Simsbury, CT 06070.
