Two students from Monroe County will each receive a $1,000 scholarship to help with expenses for their upcoming college year, thanks to Monroe County Farm Bureau. From the applications submitted, Korah Anderson of Lewisville, and Karli Weckbacher of Lewisville were selected as the 2024 scholarship recipients.

Korah is the daughter of Eric and Darcie Anderson. She graduated from the University of Findlay where she majored in animal science with a pre-veterinary medicine emphasis. In the fall, Korah will be attending The Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine.  “Upon graduation from The Ohio State, I hope to practice as an ambulatory large animal and equine practitioner in a rural setting,” she said.

Karlie is the daughter of Steve and Melanie Weckbacher. While Karlie was in high school, she completed over 300 hours of community service. During these hours and events, she completed community service for local groups and organizations like Farm Bureau, Monroe County Soil & Water, and many others. Karlie also completed over 200 hours of internship with local businesses. Karlie will be attending Washington State College of Ohio to study animal science.

Monroe County Farm Bureau congratulates these two fine students on their accomplishments and wishes all the best to our area graduates in their future endeavors.
