PANHANDLE-PLAINS SUPPORTS AREA STUDENTS
Scholarships for 2011-2012 were announced at the Ag Scholarship Event Sept. 10 on the West Texas A&M University campus. For the fourth consecutive year, Panhandle-Plains Land Bank has donated $4,000 to the West Texas A&M University (WTAMU) Foundation to fund these scholarships. Awards are made to four upperclassmen in the College of Agriculture who graduated from high schools in our service territory. A committee from within the College of Agriculture makes the selection, and distributes the awards in the fall and spring semesters. This year’s recipients come from across the association’s territory. They are:
Allison, Daugherty and Meek are upperclassmen at WTAMU, and Castanon is a transfer student from Seward County Community College in Liberal, Kansas. All of these students exhibit a love of agriculture in their chosen field of study and extracurricular activities. The WTAMU Foundation has done another fine job of identifying worthy recipients for the scholarship. Panhandle-Plains Land Bank is proud to support these individuals and wishes them well as they continue their studies.
