BARABOO - The Wisconsin Holstein Association is seeking students enrolled in a one-, two- or four-year, short course or technical school ag-related program to apply for available scholarships that range from $250 to $1,000.
Wisconsin Holstein members are encouraged to apply for scholarships. Students majoring in agricultural degrees are given highest consideration, and non-agricultural majors who plan to have a career that contributes to rural communities also will be given consideration.
The Gordon Berg Memorial Scholarship will be awarded to a student enrolled in a technical college, two-year, or short course agriculture program in the amount of $1,000. The Doris Morris Memorial Scholarship and Bradley Fust Memorial Scholarship recipients also receive a $1,000.
New this year are the John Klossner Memorial Scholarship and John Selze Memorial Scholarship, which will each be awarded an additional $1,000.
Eligibility for all scholarships requires that applicants be a member of the Wisconsin Holstein Association at the time of application, enrolled in a four-year college, a one- or two-year tech school, a short course program, or be a high school senior admitted into one of the aforementioned programs. Scholarships are capped at $1,000 per scholarship recipient. Previous winners who were awarded less than the $1,000 can apply again. In 2013, the Scholarship Committee awarded over $10,000 in scholarships to Wisconsin Holstein members.
Scholarship applications are available at www.wisholsteins.com under "Junior Activities/Awards." Materials need to be postmarked by Saturday, March 1 and mailed to the Wisconsin Holstein office, 902 Eighth Ave., Baraboo, WI 53913.
