Fifty-five students across the U.S. and Ontario, Canada, have been awarded $2,000 scholarships through the GROWMARK Foundation, supporting their pursuit of degrees in agriculture or business-related fields. Nearly 805 students applied for the competitive program, with the funds to be used for the fall 2025 semester.
Kristi Orrick, GROWMARK’s Youth and Young Producer Specialist, says this program invests not only in students but also in the future of agriculture. “We’re very proud to support students who are passionate about agriculture or business,” she said. “These scholarships are just one way we encourage the next generation to continue making an impact in their communities and in the industry.”
Orrick added that the scholarship process aims to reach a diverse range of students across North America, creating opportunities for those attending both two-year and four-year institutions.
