Scholarships awarded to Nebraska youth

Nebraska Department of Agriculture

The Nebraska Agricultural Youth Institute has awarded two $500 scholarships.

Scholarships in the amount of $500 each were awarded to two recent graduates who participated in NAYI this year as returning delegates. Returning delegates have additional responsibilities during NAYI, designed to enhance leadership abilities and organizational skills. The two scholarship recipients are Ceiden Childears of North Platte and Levi Huffman of Maxwell. These two students are planning to attend the University of Nebraska this fall and be a part of the College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources.

NAYI is a week-long event for high school juniors and seniors interested in agriculture. NAYI includes motivational speakers, ag education, networking with peers and industry leaders, leadership experience and information on ag careers. NAYI is made possible through generous donations from agricultural businesses, commodity groups and industry organizations. To learn more about NAYC or NAYI, visit https://nda.nebraska.gov/nayi/.
