LINCOLN -
The Lincoln/Logan County Chamber of
Commerce Ag Committee is looking to reward qualified students with
scholarships. Cultivating future agricultural leaders by awarding
scholarships toward their education is one of the Chamber Ag
Committees top objectives. In the 18-year history of the Ag Day
Scholarship Breakfast, $128,240 in scholarships has been awarded to
deserving local students. Any high school senior or current college
student from Logan County planning to or currently pursuing an
education in an agricultural related field is encouraged to apply.
The scholarship is designed for students who have the intention to
return to Logan County as leaders in the agriculture field.
|
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. The Chamber Ag Day Breakfast is a great networking
opportunity for the agriculture and business community to come
together. One of the most important accomplishments of this event is
the awarding of scholarships to our future agricultural leaders. The
scholarships will be awarded March 23, 2017 at 7:00 AM at Lincoln
College Lincoln Center in the Jack D Nutt Arena.
This is a free event to all Logan County residents and guests. The
event is hosted by the Chamber Ag Committee and made possible by
local business sponsors. The event is a free community breakfast
with an informative and entertaining program.
