Since launching its scholarship program in 1977, the NAFB Foundation has distributed more than $1 million to support the next generation of farm broadcasters and ag media professionals.
NAFB Foundation President and Brownfield Ag News Broadcast Supervisor Meghan Grebner said, “The NAFB Foundation, with support from our members and corporate donors, is proud to invest in these talented and deserving agriculture communications students. This investment to cultivate the next generation of farm broadcasters and ag communicators for all of American agriculture is made possible through the generous support of corporate donations, booster club contributions, and funds raised at our annual auction at convention.”
