Putnam County Farm Bureau will award scholarships for the college year 2023. The scholarship award recipients will be recognized at the Putnam County 2023 Farm Bureau Annual Meeting and will receive a scholarship check after grades are submitted from their fall quarter/semester in school.

Putnam County Farm Bureau will select recipients from the applications that meet the mandatory criteria. A scholarship selection committee, appointed by the Putnam County Farm Bureau Board of Trustees, will evaluate the scholarship applications and present their recommendations for the awards to the board for approval. From the applications, the committee will evaluate each candidate’s academic performance, agriculture and Farm Bureau involvement and activities.

The purpose of the scholarship program is:

  • To financially assist and reward a college-bound high school senior and/or college enrolled student who intends to further their education.
  • To recognize the present and future scholastic ability of young adults.
  • To invest in the post-secondary education and career planning of young adults.
  • To select recipients based upon merit, abilities and accomplishments.

If you need additional information, or have any questions/concerns, please contact the Putnam County Farm Bureau office at 877-775-7642. Office hours are Monday – Friday, 8 a.m. – 4 p.m.

The complete scholarship application should be submitted online no later than March 31, 2023.

Growing our Generation
With not growing up on a farm, I’d say I was a late bloomer to agriculture. I feel so fortunate that I found the agriculture industry. There are so many opportunities for growth.

Business Solutions
Labor has always been an issue, mainly because we are a seasonal operation. So that's a challenge finding somebody who only wants to work three months out of a year, sometimes up to six months.

Farm Bureau involvement has taught me how to grow my professional and leadership experience outside of the workforce and how to do that in a community-centric way.

Washington, D.C. Leadership Experience
If it wasn't for Farm Bureau, I personally, along with many others, would not have had the opportunity to meet with our representatives face to face in Washington.

Advocacy
So many of the issues that OFBF and its members are advocating for are important to all Ohioans. I look at OFBF as an agricultural watchdog advocating for farmers and rural communities across Ohio.
