The Legacy Scholarship program recognizes overall academic achievement, leadership and community involvement, and industry knowledge. The top five applicants attend the GOAL conference for an interview and panel discussion and the scholarships are awarded during the conference. 
Lainie Muir, who hails from Manitoba, placed first and received a $5,000 scholarship. Muir is in the second year of a bachelor of science in agriculture program, majoring in soil science, at the University of Saskatchewan. She intends to pursue a career in research in agricultural soil health. 
Chase Bruynooghe placed second and received a $3,000 scholarship. Bruynooghe grew up on his family’s beef cattle operation, Spring Creek Ranch, at Outlook, Sask. He launched his own purebred Red Angus cattle operation, Wingello Cattle Co., in 2014. He is currently in his third year of an animal science degree at the University of Saskatchewan. When he completes his degree, Bruynooghe intends to pursue a career in agriculture. 
Placing third and receiving a $2,000 scholarship was Elle Groeneveld of Rocky View County, Alta. Since age 11, she’s owned a purebred Angus and Simmental operation, Elle Ranches. Groeneveld is in her final year of high school and is interested in a career in pharmacology and scientific research in the beef industry.
