IOWA YOUTH EARN NEARLY $114,000 IN
SCHOLARSHIPS/AWARDS AT FAIR
The Iowa Foundation for Agricultural Advancement (IFAA) presented nearly $114,000 in scholarships and awards to youth who participated in 4-H and FFA beef, swine, sheep and poultry projects Saturday, August 18, in the Penningroth Media Center at the 2007 Iowa State Fair prior to the Sale of Champions.
The ceremony included the presentation of 79 scholarships with a value of $100,350, as well as 79 performance and carcass awards valued at $13,550. When tallied with the Sale of Champions receipts, the IFAA provided $361,400 to young livestock and poultry producers to sustain their interest in agriculture and encourage related careers.
Established in 1988, the IFAA’s goal is to recognize the thousands of 4-H and FFA members who complete agricultural-related projects and pursue agriculture-related careers. The organization added the scholarship program in 1990. Since the inception of the Sale, more than $3.3 million in sale proceeds and scholarship money has been distributed to deserving youth.
Winners of the Iowa State Fair Scholarships, 4-H and FFA Awards and Performance and Carcass Awards follow.
