Mike Minnick Forest Conservation Scholarship
Mike Minnick served as chair of the Garrett County Forestry Board from 2015-2024 and was passionate about the Forestry Board and natural resources education. He was a driving force behind the establishment of the scholarship program in 2020. After his passing in 2024, this scholarship was renamed the Mike Minnick Forest Conservation Scholarship to honor his legacy.
The GCFB will award a scholarship of $500 to a Garrett County resident student pursuing a degree in a forestry or natural resource related field. You may be attending any college/university/technical school, as long as you are a resident of Garrett County and pursuing a degree in a natural resources field. Applications are due by May 1 each year and selection will be made by late May.
We gladly accept donations to support our scholarship fund. Donations may be mailed to Garrett County Forestry Board, 1728 Kings Run Road, Oakland MD 21550 or donate using the PayPal link. Please indicate in PayPal note or check memo that donation is for Scholarship Fund. Thank you!
