Nineteen Minnesota students selected for the James W. Tracy Scholarship

The Minnesota FFA Foundation announced the 19 Minnesota students will receive the James W. Tracy scholarship. 

The scholarship is available to Minnesota students who are enrolled or planning to enroll in an accredited post-secondary school and pursuing a degree in agriculture. 

The scholarship is scored on leadership, involvement, agriculture interest and financial need.

These scholarships are possible due to the generosity of James W. Tracy, a farmer from Dennison, Minnesota who lost his battle with illness in 2014. 

Jim had a deep love for the land, farming and the desire to support youth which lead him to donate his farm to the Minnesota FFA Foundation. 

Generations of high school seniors interested in studying agriculture will benefit from this donation through the James W. Tracy Scholarship.

Scholarship recipients are:

• Kya Anderson, Barnesville
