The Kentucky Department of Agriculture is inviting student-athletes who are involved in agriculture to apply for academic scholarships and the chance to be recognized as a 2025 Kentucky Ag Athlete of the Year.
This program is a partnership between the High School Athletic Association and the Kentucky Department of Agriculture and six scholarships will be awarded.
Commission of Agriculture Jonathan Shell says, “Discipline, teamwork, patience and goal setting are attributes athletes use every time they step on the field or the court. These are the same skills you use for success when stepping into the field of agriculture.”
If you are interested in applying, the qualifications include involvement in Kentucky agriculture, participation in a KHSAA sport during the 2024-2025 school year, being a graduating high school senior and having been accepted into a college, university or trade school.
