In its fourth year, the program awarded 22 scholarships to deserving recipients studying and pursuing careers in the irrigation field.
The 22 students are from colleges and universities around the nation and are enrolled in associate to graduate programs with an irrigation focus. All of the recipients have a passion for irrigation and are well on their way to a career in the irrigation industry, according to the IA.
The scholarships, ranging from $1,000 to $2,500, were awarded based on the candidate’s letter of intent, financial need, resume, list of irrigation courses and letters of reference. The annual program, started in 2016, has awarded 79 students since inception.
