The NDFB Promotion and Education Committee announced ten individuals have been awarded $1,000 scholarships through the NDFB Foundation.

The money is raised through an auction at the NDFB Annual Meeting in November. Auction items are donated by county Farm Bureaus and volunteers.

“This past year, we held a special Night Out with the NDFB Foundation at Fargo Brewing Company, and it was tremendously successful,” said NDFB Director of Organizational Development Joey Bailey. “We’d like to thank all our members who were so generous. It means so much to us to be able to award these deserving students to help further their education.”
