(Marlin, Texas)—High school seniors and enrolled college students are encouraged to apply for more than $840,000 in Texas Farm Bureau (TFB) scholarships offered on the local, district and state levels.

 “Scholarships and awards are an excellent opportunity for Farm Bureau families to earn money to pursue their education,” Renae Willberg, Falls County Farm Bureau president, said. “We encourage all eligible students to apply.”

 There are four high school scholarships available for students who will graduate in May: Memorial/Honorary and District Scholarships, Young Farmer & Rancher Scholarship and the Dick Mitchell Memorial Scholarship.

 Enrolled college students can apply for four different scholarships: Young Farmer & Rancher Scholarships for Enrolled College Students, TFB S.M. True Jr. Agricultural Scholar Award, Mia Balko Student Teaching Scholarship and the Rural Veterinary Scholarship.

 “These scholarships and awards are another way county Farm Bureaus and Texas Farm Bureau invest in the future of our community, state and Texas agriculture,” Renae Willberg said.

 TFB scholarship applications are due online by March 1, 2024, and Falls County Farm Bureau scholarships are due to the county office by March 18, 2024.
