Farm Bureau Scholarship

The James H. Johnson Scholarship Fund was established in 1998 by the Marion County Farm Bureau Board of Trustees in honor of James H. Johnson, Marion County farmer and firefighter, to support and further the education of Marion County High School graduates.

Applicants may be high school seniors, current trade school, college or graduate school students. An applicant must be a member, or child or dependent of a member, of the Marion County (Ohio) Farm Bureau. Up to three scholarships of $500 will be awarded annually.

Applications are only being accepted through the Ohio Farm Bureau Foundation website. Students will need to upload their most recent transcripts and a letter of reference at the end of the application, so please be sure to have those documents before starting the application.

Scholarship monies will be paid directly to the recipient to be used for school, books and living expenses following the next semester, or equivalent. Transcripts must show that the recipient maintains a 2.5 GPA in their semester or equivalent term.

Recipients will receive the funds after submission of their respective transcript detailing their grades for the first semester, or equivalent, for the academic year AND proof that the student is enrolled as a full-time student for the next grading period.
