Every year, Team CFC is dedicated to supporting deserving high school seniors across Texas by providing scholarship funds to help further their education.
This year, nearly 120 outstanding graduating high school seniors were awarded $1,000 scholarships in five CFC regions across Texas. These students will be attending accredited vocational or technical schools, colleges or universities full time in the fields of agriculture or natural resources, including programs such as ag communications, ag economics/ business, ag education, wildlife or ranch management.
“We got hundreds of strong applications this year, which tells me the future of agriculture is bright,” said Jeff Norte, president and CEO of Capital Farm Credit. “We congratulate and applaud these outstanding students and look forward to the outstanding contributions they will make in our industry.”
Since Capital Farm Credit’s centennial celebration in 2016, we have awarded nearly $1 million to more than 900 Texas students. It is a privilege to congratulate this year’s winning recipients in the Plains Region:
