“Pecans for scholarships” started in 1951 with the Smith College Club of Westchester County. This idea has since become an annual fundraising tradition for numerous clubs across the country. Typically sold during the late fall, the pecans now come in a variety of flavors, including chocolate-covered and cinnamon-glazed. The clubs below sell pecans, and many will ship.
