Any high school senior or current college student from Logan County
planning to or currently pursuing an education in an agricultural
field is encouraged to apply. The scholarship is designed for
students planning to return to Logan County as leaders in the ag
field.
Applications for the ag scholarships are available at
www.lincolnillinois.com,
in local high school guidance offices or from the chamber office,
1555 Fifth St. in Lincoln, phone 217-735-2385. The deadline to apply
for a scholarship is March 1. Applications should be returned to the
chamber office no later than 5 p.m.
The ag scholarships are made possible due to generous
sponsorships from community businesses. Local businesses partner
together to support and sustain agriculture awareness in our
community. In the 12-year history of the Ag Day Scholarship
Breakfast, $58,000 in scholarships has been awarded to deserving
local students.
This year's scholarship recipients will be announced during the
12th annual Logan County Ag Day Scholarship Breakfast on March 24 at
7 a.m. at Lincoln Christian University's Laughlin Center.
