PA Farm Show Scholarship Recipient

The Pennsylvania Farm Show Scholarship Foundation presented PJSA member Emily Benner and twenty-four other students with $3,500 scholarships marking the 1 millionth dollar in 20 years, on Tuesday, Jan. 8, at the 2013 Pennsylvania Farm Show in Harrisburg.

“Each year, the Pennsylvania Farm Show celebrates the best of agriculture – and the scholarship winners are the best,” said Agriculture George Greig, “I thank the scholarship foundation, its members, contributors and livestock buyers for their hard work, because they are making a difference in the lives of these students.”

The foundation has awarded more than $1 million to 394 junior Farm Show exhibitors since the program began in 1993. In addition, Delaware Valley College provides matching grants to its recipients, and Penn State’s College of Agricultural Sciences offers $2,000 to its full-time students.
