AMES -- Eleven Marengo FFA members attended the 14th annual World Food Prize’s Iowa Youth Institute at Iowa State University this month, and all eleven earned the prestigious title of Borlaug Scholar.
The students also received $1,000 scholarships from Iowa State University to the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences.
The honored students are 𝐑𝐲𝐚 𝐌𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐫, 𝐌𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐇𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐭, 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐲𝐥𝐚 𝐇𝐞𝐥𝐠𝐞𝐬𝐨𝐧, 𝐌𝐲𝐚𝐡 𝐇𝐚𝐫𝐦𝐨𝐧, 𝐁𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐚 𝐏𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡, 𝐊𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐲𝐧 𝐊𝐢𝐥𝐠𝐚𝐫𝐝, 𝐌𝐲𝐥𝐚 𝐅𝐫𝐢𝐦𝐦𝐥, 𝐋𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐨𝐧 𝐊𝐢𝐥𝐠𝐚𝐫𝐝, 𝐒𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐚 𝐁𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐡𝐬𝐞𝐧, 𝐊𝐢𝐧𝐥𝐞𝐲 𝐅𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐢 𝐊𝐚𝐧𝐤𝐞.
More than 300 students from across Iowa explored global food security issues through hands-on experiences, expert panels and student-led research presentations during the event.
Marengo students wrote research papers about a chosen country and a limiting factor that causes food insecurity in that country.
This experience not only earned them scholarships but also gave them the lasting distinction of being Borlaug Scholars. The honor is named after Iowa’s Nobel Peace Prize winner, Norman Borlaug.
