NDFB Scholarship Winners Announced

Topic: Education

Bismarck, ND -- The NDFB Promotion and Education Committee announced ten individuals who have been awarded $1,000 scholarships through the NDFB Foundation. The money is raised through a live auction at the NDFB Annual Meeting, held in November. Auction items are donated by county Farm Bureaus and volunteers.  
 
“This last year, the NDFB P&E Committee raised an all-time high for scholarships,” said NDFB Director of Organizational Development Joey Bailey. “These scholarships wouldn’t be possible without the generosity from the county Farm Bureaus and volunteers. It means so much to us to be able to award these students and help further their education.”
