Indiana Farm Bureau and the Farm Bureau Foundation awarded 13 scholarships to high school and college students recently.

“Pursuing higher education requires dedication and resources,” said Ashley Beasley, women’s program coordinator at INFB. “These students showed their dedication and passion for agriculture on their applications. We’re happy to provide some of the resources to help them further their education and pursue their goals.”

Emily Dougherty, Johnson County, received the Marion Stackhouse Scholarship. The $1,000 scholarship is named after the former INFB president of the same name, who served from 1976 to 1987. Marion Stackhouse Scholarship winners must be INFB members pursuing studies in an agricultural area.

Two $1,000 scholarships are offered to members of the state’s two collegiate Farm Bureau chapters at Purdue University and Vincennes University. Purdue students Morgan Ritzi, Dearborn County, and Jacob Taylor, Clinton County, received the collegiate Farm Bureau scholarships.

Ten students, one per INFB district, received $500 Farm Bureau Foundation scholarships. Students are listed with the school they currently attend and their home county.

District 1: Luke T. Kepler, Ivy Tech Community College, Marshall County

District 2: Jenna Niemeyer, Heritage Jr./Sr. High, Allen County
