Four Farm Bureau members in Kansas were selected as finalists for Kansas State University's Civic Leadership Scholarship, presented by Kansas Farm Bureau and Farm Bureau Financial Services.
Makenzie Deines, Marion County; Wade Gassmann, Atchison County; Madison McClellan, Rooks County; and Samantha Meier, Washington County, were among 12 finalists selected out of more than 400 applicants for the scholarship.
KFB and FBFS contribute funding for three academic scholarship awards. Finalists who are not awarded one of the top three scholarships receive $500 book scholarships, which are funded by Kansas Farm Bureau, Farm Bureau Financial Services and generous gifts from Kansas Farm Bureau President Steve Baccus and wife, Patricia, along with retired Kansas Farm Bureau CEO Dan Yunk and his wife, Cheryl.
McClellan received a $2,000 scholarship. Deines, Gassman and Meier received book scholarships.
"Kansas Farm Bureau and Farm Bureau Financial Services believe whole-heartedly in the importance of giving back to the communities we serve,” Baccus says. "That's why we're so proud to be a part of a scholarship program that recognizes outstanding young people who already understand they have the power to make a difference."
Kansas Farm Bureau represents grassroots agriculture. Established in 1919, this non-profit advocacy organization supports farm families who earn their living in a changing industry.
