Portage County Farm Bureau is offering the Robert Brookover Memorial Scholarship to Portage County Farm Bureau members and their family member within their household.
Four $500 scholarships will be awarded to students who are graduating high school or currently enrolled in college.
Deadline: March 31, 2024
Applicant Qualifications
Applicants must be a resident of Portage County.
Applicants must be a full-time student planning on attaining an undergraduate degree for 2 or 4 years at an accredited college, university or trade school recognized by the Portage County Farm Bureau.
Applicants must be graduating high school seniors or college students who are reapplying the following year, provided they are pursuing undergraduate studies and have maintained a grade point average of at least 2.5 after the first year.
Children of Farm Bureau members will be considered regardless of stated field of intended study.
All other applicants will be considered only if they plan to enroll in agriculture or an ag-related field.
The plan we are on is great. It’s comparable to my previous job's plan, and we are a sole proprietor.
To grow a network and gain perspective and knowledge in the industry through personal and professional development has been invaluable. Every day I learn and grow.
The issue of property taxation remains as one of the biggest challenges our members face today. Ensuring agricultural property is valued for its agricultural potential and not development is critical to the continued success of Ohio agriculture.
Farm Bureau is what really got the word out. It’s been one of their goals to get this done.
I could not have done it without the resources I have found through Farm Bureau.
Because we are younger farmers just starting out, Farm Bureau has a lot of good opportunities and resources to help us grow in the future.
Through the Select Partner program, we became educated in farm insurance and weren't just selling policies. It became more and more clear why farmers need an advocate like Ohio Farm Bureau.
