“It’s a pleasure to recognize scholarship winners from Farm Bureau families for their many accomplishments,” said Mathew Meals, AFBF Young Farmer and Rancher chair. “It’s also gratifying that so many excellent students are interested in the study of agriculture, which provides food, fiber and shelter for our nation.”
A total of 50 $1,000 scholarships for agricultural studies were awarded.
Dodge sponsors the scholarships as a special project of the National FFA Foundation. Scholarships are presented to the winning students by Dodge dealers on behalf of the company.
