WORTHINGTON, Ohio — The Ohio Soybean Council Foundation (OSCF) is pleased to announce the scholarship recipients for the 2025-2026 academic year.
This is the 18th year for the OSCF Scholarship Program, which was created to encourage undergraduate students to pursue degrees in various fields that support the future of the soybean industry, including agriculture, business, communication, economics, education, science, and technology, as well as to support ongoing graduate-level research. Since 2008, the OSCF Scholarship Program has awarded over $680,000 in scholarship funds to students studying agriculture or a related field at Ohio colleges or universities.
Undergraduate scholarships of $3,000 each were awarded to Chloe Anderson, Ruth Beery, Hannah Chaffee, William Harrison, Sarah Hoak, Anna Meyer, Reagan Saunders, and Gracie Sprague. The annual $5,000 Bhima Vijayendran Scholarship, named in honor of a Battelle research scientist who made significant contributions to the soybean industry and passed away earlier this year, was awarded to Dylan Bambauer. The Robinson W. Joslin Scholarship, an annual $3,000 award created to honor a long-time leader in the soybean industry both in Ohio and nationally, was awarded to Kaylynn Wilhelm.
Graduate scholarships of $2,500 were awarded to Veeramani Karuppuchamy, Lucas Dias Mendonca, Joseph Nwosu, and Brenda Antonella Medina Privatt. A graduate scholarship of $5,000 was awarded to Talia Collier.
“I’m honored to serve on the scholarship selection committee for the first time this year, and I am truly impressed by the caliber of these recipients,” said Jeff McKanna, Hancock County soybean farmer and scholarship selection committee member. “These students are the future of our industry, and I’m confident they will make meaningful contributions to its growth and success.”
