Two Purdue University students are the winners of Indiana Farm Bureau’s 2024 Collegiate Farm Bureau scholarships.
The two $1,000 scholarships were awarded to Jayden Simpson of Putnam County and Camille Thopy of Shelby County. Simpson (who interned with INFB in 2023) is majoring in agricultural economics, and Thopy is pursuing a degree in agricultural education.
The scholarships are open to members of any of the Collegiate Farm Bureau chapters, which are located at Purdue, Vincennes and Huntington universities.
"INFB congratulates our scholarship winners,” said INFB President Randy Kron. “These students represent the future of agriculture and showcase the variety of careers available in the ag space. Everyone has an important job in this industry.”
Collegiate Farm Bureaus are student organizations dedicated to serving as the "Voice of Agriculture" through efforts in advocacy, education, communication and community service. Chapters offer students opportunities in leadership growth, citizenship engagement, career development, service learning and professional networking.
Applications for INFB scholarships are now closed but will reopen in early 2025. To learn more about the requirements, visit www.infb.org/scholarships.
