2020 NEAFA Scholarship Recipients Announced

Erin Armitage, Greenwich, NY
Agriculture is my passion. Whether I am showing dairy cattle, advocating to lawmakers, or informing the public, I truly enjoy every aspect that agriculture has to offer. I strongly believe that agriculture will play an even stronger role in the future. My goal is to study agribusiness. I have applied to Virginia Tech, Cornell University, Ohio State, and SUNY Morrisville. I look forward to my future career strengthening the future of Northeast agriculture. Chelsie Fuller, Newark Valley
I have chosen to pursue a degree in Ag Education because I enjoy teaching and advocating about agriculture. My experience in Junior Dairy Leaders, FFA, and Dairy Promotion have only served to strengthen my commitment to "agvocating." I have applied to attend SUNY Delhi or SUNY Cobleskill, with my ultimate goal to become a fully certified teacher in high school agriculture. Hannah Laine Koval, Stillwater, NY
Growing up on a dairy farm in Saratoga County, I have always loved being a part of the agricultural industry. Whether it was showing cows at the fair, helping my parents at the barn or being a part of my local 4-H or FFA programs, since I was little, my life truly has revolved around being a part of agriculture. I have applied to Cornell University, the Pennsylvania State University, SUNY Morrisville, and SUNY Cobleskill to study Agri-Business Management. Rachel Van Buren, Glenfield, NY
I have been fortunate enough to grow up on a beef and dairy farm. My family’s farm has played an essential role in developing my interest in Animal Science. At a young age, I found a passion for dairy cattle, especially registered Holsteins. I have applied to Cornell University and SUNY Cobleskill to study Animal Science. |
