Foundation Announces New Stuenkel Family Scholarship
The Cook County Farm Bureau Foundation Board has created a new scholarship honoring the many contributions made by the Stuenkel Family to the Cook County Farm Bureau, the Foundation, and the organization’s agriculture education and literacy programming.
“The Stuenkel Family Legacy Scholarship”
The scholarship has been designed for Cook County Farm Bureau members pursuing higher education with a focus on an agriculture related career in the areas of technology, education, leadership development, and/or mental health.
