The other students receiving the scholarship are Jessie Adams of the University of Georgia Tifton Campus, Rhet Bexley of the University of Arkansas, Delaney Brown of Texas A&M University, William Cordell of the University of Florida, Navdeep Godara of Virginia Tech University and Sadie Morris of Mississippi State University.

Each recipient will be awarded a $2,000 scholarship to help them continue their educational and professional pursuits in the agriculture industry. These students’ fields of interest vary widely across the industry, including agribusiness, crop science, plant breeding and weed science.

“Agriculture has always been a part of my life,” Fowler told AMVAC. “Growing up on a row crop farm taught me where it all begins, and studying agribusiness lets me give back and make
an impact. I’m so grateful to be chosen for this scholarship.”

To be eligible for the scholarship, applicants needed a nomination from a consultant or professor and experience studying agriculture or working in the industry between 2023 and 2025. The scholarship was open to seniors in high school or students enrolled in an agriculture program at an accredited college or university.

The announcement was made by AMVAC on Dec. 8.
