Washington’s Jack Carter wins ag scholarship

Jack Carter of Washington was awarded the $2,500 Aaron Boysen Memorial Scholarship by Kent Nutrition Group by the Iowa Foundation for Agricultural Advancement (IFAA). Jack's parents are John and Kim Carter.

The IFAA established the Winner's Circle Scholarship Program in 1990 to provide incentives for college-bound youth seeking post-secondary education in an area of agriculture. Over $180,600 were awarded in scholarships to 98 youth this year by IFAA.

IFAA is a non-profit organization founded in 1988. It is comprised of agricultural enthusiasts dedicated to encouraging 4-H and FFA livestock, poultry and agriculture project members to pursue Ag-related careers. IFAA founders recognized that Iowa's young people are the future of agriculture in Iowa and that an important way to support and retain Iowa's future Ag-leaders is to provide financial support to those young people interested in Ag-careers.
