The Oklahoma Farm Bureau Young Farmers and Ranchers committee recently awarded nine $1,000 scholarships to one high school senior from each OKFB district and a $1,000 scholarship to a Collegiate Farm Bureau member.
The scholarships were awarded to students who plan to pursue a degree in an agriculture-related field at an Oklahoma college or university and who desire to contribute to agriculture and rural Oklahoma.
“The future of the agriculture industry depends on strong young leaders,” said Jacob Beck, OKFB YF&R chair. “We are proud to help support these 10 students in their endeavors as they further their education and pave the way as leaders both in the agriculture industry and beyond.”
Bruce Trammell was the winner of the Collegiate Farm Bureau scholarship. He is studying agricultural leadership at Oklahoma State University.
The nine high school scholarship recipients are:
- Ashlee Purvine, Dewey County, District 1
- Rylan Harris, Kiowa County, District 2
- Casyn Larman, Logan County, District 3
- Cora Sullivan, Comanche County, District 4
- Colten Luke DeLozier, McCurtain County, District 5
- Courtney Blagg, Rogers County, District 6
- Connor Mack, Garfield County, District 7
- Lauren Earp, Garvin County, District 8
- Caden Messenger, Washington County, District 9
All nine high school students plan to attend Oklahoma State University with a variety of study areas, including animal science, agribusiness, plant and soil sciences, agricultural communications and more.
