Farm Bureau offering scholarships

Farm Bureau members and their family members are encouraged to apply for one of nine college scholarships offered by the Wyoming Farm Bureau Federation.

The deadline for those in Carbon County to apply at the county level is April 15, 2014. At that level, up to five $300 scholarships are open to all Carbon County seniors who meet requirements. Scholarship applications are available at county Farm Bureau offices or high schools. For more information, contact G.G. Kortes at 307-325-6309.

Other scholarships are offered at the state level, and the state application deadline is March 1, 2014. The Livingston-King Scholarship, valued at $1,500 for 2014, is a memorial for former Wyoming Farm Bureau Presidents H.D. Livingston and H.J. King, and Norma and Buddy Livingston, parents of Wyoming Farm Bureau President Perry Livingston.

Also at the state level are the five Wyoming Farm Bureau Federation scholarships at $500 each, and the three “Continuing Education” scholarships are $500 each. The continuing education scholarship recipients must submit at least two years of college transcripts.

The applications are available at county Farm Bureau offices, on the web at http://www.wyfb.org or by calling 1-800-442-8325. For questions, contact Ellen Westbrook at 1-800-442-8325 or [email protected].
