Three high school students from our region were recently selected to be among twenty-nine students in Minnesota who will receive the James W. Tracy Scholarship from the Minnesota FFA Foundation.
The scholarship is available to Minnesota students who are enrolled or planning to enroll in an accredited post-secondary school to pursue a degree in Agriculture.
The scholarship is possible due to the generosity of James W. Tracy, a farmer from Dennison, Minnesota who lost his battle with illness in 2014. Tracy turned his deep love for the land, farming and the desire to support youth into tangible gifts for students by donating his farm to the Minnesota FFA Foundation.
2024 recipients of the scholarship from the local area include Madison Brown of Kimball Area Schools, and Wyatt Glessing and Morgan Marketon of Howard Lake-Waverly-Winsted High School.
The scholarship recipients will have the opportunity to be recognized on stage at the 2024 Minnesota FFA State Convention next Tuesday, April 23rd at 12 noon at the 3M Arena at Mariucci on the Minneapolis campus of the University of Minnesota.
