High school students entering their senior year and planning a career in agriculture or science are eligible for this year's Agricultural Achievement Award.
The $500 scholarship, sponsored by Dr. Amy Butewicz, a former New Jersey Equestrian of the Year, was started because of her desire to give back to the community, according to a news release.
Applicants can find qualifications and the application online, and are asked to submit a resume with an essay answering “How has your involvement within your respective nominating organization helped to shape your future career choice?”
