The Warren-Henderson Farm Bureau® Foundation is proud to announce this year’s scholarship recipients. Due to the generosity of the Twomey Family Foundation, memorials in honor of loved ones, support from our members and area businesses, and fundraising efforts, the Foundation can assist nineteen applicants this year in furthering their education in agriculture. Each of this year’s recipients will receive a total of $1,300 for the 2024-25 academic year.
The Foundation started awarding scholarships in 1994 and since that time has awarded 412 scholarships and almost $350,000 to students continuing their education in an agricultural field of study.
Meet one of this year’s recipients: Jacob Sparrow
Jacob Sparrow attends Southeastern Community College in West Burlington where he majors in Agronomy and Row Crop Operations. While at Southeastern Community College, Jacob was involved in the Iowa Farm Bureau Young Leader Conference. In his spare time, he enjoys hunting, welding, and figure 8 racing. Future plans for Jacob include getting a good job off-farm, but also continuing helping our family’s farm. Jacob is the son of Byron and Jennifer Sparrow of Stronghurst.
