The Ruth I. Cleveland Scholarship
The Andover Garden Club encourages local students to apply for the Ruth I. Cleveland Scholarship, which memorializes the late Ruth Cleveland, a long-time resident of Andover who served as president of the Andover Garden Club from 1954 to 1956. The Ruth I. Cleveland Scholarship was initially funded more than 35 years ago by her two children: Ann C. Lange and the late Byron R. Cleveland, Jr. It grows yearly through donations from the Lange family and the Andover Garden Club.
