Kansas Farm Bureau Foundation for Agriculture Awards Scholarships to North Central Kansas Students

Kansas Farm Bureau's Foundation for Agriculture will award scholarships to area students studying in fields that benefit agriculture during the 2022-23 school year.

Abigail Petersen of Cloud County, a student at Cloud County Community College, and Derek Freel of Ottawa County, a student at Kansas State University, each received $500 scholarships.  These students are attending a Kansas college with a Kansas Farm Bureau Collegiate Farm Bureau chapter. Petersen and Freel are both Collegiate Farm Bureau chapter members.

Over the past decade, the foundation has awarded more than $250,000 in scholarships.  Additionally, county Farm Bureaus across the state award more than $150,000 annually to students continuing their education.

“We’re investing in students today to ensure they become tomorrow’s leaders,” says Kansas Farm Bureau President and Foundation Chair Rich Felts.

Kansas Farm Bureau's mission is to strengthen agriculture and the lives of Kansans through advocacy, education and service.
