The Kentucky Farm Bureau is celebrating, after it announced that the agency has awarded over $810,000 in scholarships to Kentucky students—its highest total ever. 
In partnership with the county Farm Bureaus, the KFB Foundation awarded $810,150 in scholarships at both the state and county level, bringing the total of scholarships awarded to nearly $4 million since the program’s inception in 1953. 
According to a news release, statewide scholarships include students attending a Kentucky college or university who are pursuing a degree in agriculture or a related field, students are pursuing a four-year degree in animal health/veterinary technology or a related field, students who come from farm families and more.
A total of 110 county Farm Bureaus awarded scholarships to local students.
President Eddie Melton says, “We’re proud to support these outstanding students who are working hard today, and who are well on their way to becoming the leaders of tomorrow. Whether their academic paths lead them to agriculture or another field, Kentucky Farm Bureau is honored to walk beside them as they take their next steps.”
