by | May 21, 2025 | 5 Ag Stories, News

Fifty-five students have been selected to receive scholarships totaling $2,000 each through the GROWMARK Foundation. Nearly 805 students from across the United States and Ontario, Canada, applied for the scholarships. Students who received scholarships will have those funds available for the fall 2025 semester.

“At GROWMARK, we recognize that by supporting students, we can help them achieve their academic goals and choose careers in agriculture or a business-related field,” said GROWMARK CEO Mark Orr. “Our internship programs provide students with valuable insights into the diverse career opportunities available in the agriculture industry. Additionally, our scholarship program assists them in following these paths into agriculture, including the opportunities we offer at GROWMARK and within an FS company after they graduate.”

Congratulations to these scholarship recipients, who are shown below in three categories.
