The lender awarded a total of $48,000 in college scholarships to 32 student recipients. Each student received a $1,500 scholarship to apply towards his or her higher education.
This fall Bradbury will attend Husson University to major in business administration. She plans to put the leadership skills she’s earned through participation in Future Farmers of America (FFA) to work in her future career in agricultural business or marketing.
“This year’s scholarship recipients aspire to make a difference in their communities and are well on their way to becoming agriculture’s future leaders and entrepreneurs,” said Farm Credit CEO Bill Lipinski. “Our program supports students with diverse career aspirations in agriculture, commercial fishing and the forest products industries from across our seven-state territory. Our Board of Directors and staff send congratulations to these deserving students and best wishes for a successful educational experience.”
The Farm Credit East scholarship program is for college bound students with career aspirations in agriculture, forest products and commercial fishing.
