Each year, Kansas Farm Bureau’s Foundation for Agriculture awards scholarships to college students studying in fields that benefit agriculture and rural Kansas. 45 recipients have been awarded $26,500 in scholarships for the 2025-26 school year.
“We’re investing in students today to ensure they become tomorrow’s leaders,” says KFB President and Foundation Chair Joe Newland.
In addition to the foundation’s scholarships, county Farm Bureaus across Kansas awarded more than $160,000 in scholarships to nearly 200 recipients.
“The KFB Foundation for Agriculture is absolutely thrilled to support our member students through these scholarship awards,” says the foundation’s assistant director Shannon Martin. “It’s an honor to invest in their potential and help them achieve their academic and personal goals.”
