The National Farmers Union Foundation (NFUF) has announced the recipients of its 2024 annual scholarship awards. These scholarships are awarded to students attending accredited two- or four-year colleges, universities, or technical schools who have demonstrated academic excellence and a strong commitment to their communities.

“To secure a bright future for our organization, our communities and American agriculture, we must ensure that young people have the resources they need to become tomorrow’s leaders,” said NFU President Rob Larew. “Our commitment to community and support for family farmers and ranchers drives us to support these bright minds as they pursue their education. NFU is proud to invest in the future by helping these young individuals achieve their educational goals.”

Kaleigh Sullivan from Missouri has been awarded the Hubert K. & JoAnn Seymour Scholarship, a $2,000 award given in honor of Hubert and JoAnn Seymour’s lifelong dedication to the Farmers Union and family farming. Hubert K. Seymour was a prominent leader in the Farmers Union organization, serving at both state and national levels. He held the positions of secretary-treasurer for eight years and vice president for twelve years in the Illinois Farmers Union before stepping down in 1990. Together with his wife JoAnn, he farmed full-time until his passing in 1994.
