BASF recently announced the National Corn Growers Association (NCGA), National Sorghum Foundation (NSF), National Wheat Foundation (NWF) and BASF Joint Scholarship winners at this year’s Commodity Classic in New Orleans. Two winners from each foundation were awarded $2,500 to be applied during the 2021-2022 academic year.
“One of the reasons why BASF spends a significant amount of time interacting with members across the country, and investing in the scholarship programs, is to continue to be motivated and inspired by the excitement and perspectives of this generation that will soon take the reins of agriculture,” said Scott Kay, Vice President, U.S. Crop Protection, BASF Agricultural Solutions. “These student leaders inspire BASF to continue investing in the next generation of agriculture who will farm the land, find new uses for our crops, and develop new and innovative approaches to deliver more with less.”
