MONROE - Four Green County youth were recently selected to receive scholarships from the annual Dairy Youth Recognition Auction Scholarship program. The scholarships are funded through proceeds garnered from the Green County Dairy Youth Recognition Auction that is held in conjunction with the Cheese Auction conducted by the Foreign Type Cheesemakers Association at the County Fair.
A total of $2,000 was distributed this year by the Dairy Youth Auction Committee. Receiving $500 scholarships were: David Meier, son of Duane and Jeanie Meier of Albany; Nicole Smith, daughter of Jane and Randall Smith of Monticello; Christopher Kempfer, son of Mike and Cherri Kempfer of New Glarus; and Cassandra Wymer, daughter of Jeff and Valerie Wymer.
Scholarships were awarded on the basis of information provided by the applicant that included their involvement in the dairy project, leadership skills they gained in 4-H and FFA and their future career goals.
These youth will be formally recognized at the 2009 Green County Dairy Youth Auction on July 26, before the start of the sale.
