Genesee County Farm Bureau will award a $1,000 scholarship to a graduating high school senior this year. The award will go to a Farm Bureau member’s son or daughter. The award decision will be based on scholastic achievement, extracurricular activities, an essay and interest in agriculture. Students who are continuing their education beyond high school into a technical, 2-year or 4-year program are eligible. The award will be given in two segments: half at the beginning of the first semester and the second half at the successful completion of the first semester. The student will need a GPA of 2.0 or higher to receive the award.
Scholarship application forms are available from the Genesee County Farm Bureau office at 41 Liberty Street, Batavia or call 585-343-3489. The forms must be returned to the Farm Bureau office no later than May 31, 2009. The Farm Bureau Scholarship Committee will have the final decision on who is awarded the scholarship.
