Since the inception of the endowment, the Ag Alumni Society has awarded $338,237 in scholarships benefiting more than 360 students.

Alumni Society Trustee Scholarship Award

Students in the College of Agricultural Sciences who have a demonstrated financial need are the beneficiaries of a new scholarship endowment created in 2014 by the college's alumni society. With a $100,000 gift, the group created the College of Agricultural Sciences Alumni Society Trustee Scholarship.

Outstanding Senior Award

This award is sponsored by the Ag Alumni Society with the Coaly Agricultural Student Honor Society's involvement in the recruitment and selection process.
