ˮ���� and Farm Credit Services of America will offer four students a $2,500 scholarship to study agribusiness at the university. The scholarship will be awarded for the 2023-24 academic year to:

• Trevor Bolton— Stromsburg NE
• Alexis Mauler — Sargent, NE
• Garrett Rasmussen — Albion, NE
• Keegan Dean Shuler — Culbertson, NE

All but Rasmussen, who will be a ˮ���� sophomore, are first-year students starting this fall.

“The career opportunities in agribusiness are substantial, creating a need for well-educated individuals who can be the agricultural leaders of tomorrow,” said Pete Poppert, chair of the Agribusiness Department. “Thanks to the generosity of Farm Credit Services of America, ˮ���� can offer financial assistance to students interested in pursuing their education in agribusiness.”

To receive the scholarship, students were required to have a grade point average of 3.0 or greater and pursue a degree in agribusiness. Students also completed an application explaining their interest in the mission of ˮ����’s Agribusiness program, their desire to strengthen the global agricultural community, their commitment to an environment of diversity and inclusion and to demonstrate their financial need.

ˮ����’s Agribusiness program offers students a flexible education that can be completed entirely online, or alongside other courses on the university’s Crete or Lincoln campuses. The program is available as a major or a minor and benefits students seeking careers in a variety of fields connected to agriculture across the world. See more information about ˮ���� Agribusiness.
