HCEF Scholarship Testimonials

This former West Holmes High School student applied and was awarded a scholarship through the HCEF in order to help decrease her college expenses. "The HCEF really helped to alleviate some of the financial burden of attending college, allowing me to focus on my education."  She later graduated from Purdue University in 1997 where she pursued Ag Communication. She now works as the District Program Administrator for the Ashland Soil & Water Conservation District office.  "My degree is in Ag Communication, which over the course of my career has evolved into a passion for educating students about the science of agriculture.  That is a large part of what drew me to my career.  I love to share the story of agriculture."
