Applicants are still being sought for scholarships from the Douglas County Farm Bureau.
The group will give out up to five $1,000 scholarships in the 2020-2021 school year to students that are pursuing a course of study in agriculture or forestry, or are the children or grandchildren of a voting member of the local farm bureau. In that case, any major will be considered.
Applicants must be Douglas County high school graduates, either graduating this year, or already enrolled in a higher education institution. Local homeschool students are also eligible to apply.
The selection of winners will be based on merit, financial need, initiative, and demonstration of interest in forestry or agriculture.
Past recipients are also eligible to reapply. The application deadline is March 15th.
For more information or to get an application, call 541-825-3760.
