Each year, the Master Gardeners of the Ozarks chapter gives a scholarship to a deserving student majoring in horticulture or related subjects.

The Master Gardener Program is a popular and successful statewide volunteer community-service organization administered through University of Missouri Extension. The organization's goal is to train gardeners who are willing to share their knowledge with others. Master Gardeners become volunteers of University of Missouri Extension and donate hours for community educational projects in horticulture.
