SEDALIA, Mo. — Missouri State Fair Director Mark Wolfe announced that 36 youth, selected from Missouri 4-H and FFA, will be awarded scholarships by the Missouri State Fair Foundation Youth in Agriculture (YIA) committee. These students are seeking higher education at a Missouri university/college, and will be recognized Friday, April 20, during the annual State FFA Convention in Columbia.

“Awarding these scholarships year after year is a tradition we are proud to continue for Missouri youth,” Wolfe said. “We appreciate the many gracious agricultural supporters who financially contribute to make these scholarships possible.”

Scholarship applicants were evaluated in a variety of areas including Missouri State Fair participation, grade point average, community involvement and leadership roles. Since 1992, the YIA committee has awarded 606 scholarships totaling $616,500.

The scholarships are funded through the generosity of Youth in Agriculture sponsors and buyers of the livestock sold during the annual Sale of Champions; the sponsors and buyers list is available online. A portion of each animal’s sale price is allocated to the scholarship program. Support of the scholarship program is also provided through fundraising efforts including the Governor’s Ham Breakfast, Missouri Department of Agriculture’s Annual Ag Golf Classic, Guesa USA of Sedalia, Missouri State Fair Foundation and Sydenstricker John Deere of Missouri/Sydenstricker Angus Genetics.

Bailey J. Crouch, of Lincoln, has been selected to receive the $5,000 platinum scholarship offered by YIA supporters. Audrey Martin, of Bucklin, has been selected to receive the $2,500 supreme scholarship, sponsored by Sydenstricker John Deere of Missouri/Sydenstricker Angus Genetics.
