Tuesday, December 15th, 2020 -- 9:59 AM

(Wisconsin Ag Connection) The Marshfield-based ProVision Partners Cooperative has awarded 21 students from central Wisconsin with college scholarships this year.

According to the Wisconsin Ag Connection, to apply, each of the students needed to be enrolled in the short-course program or a two- or four-year curriculum in the fall. Applications were scored on the youth's scholastic achievement, leadership, written essay questions and perceived ability to contribute to the future of their chosen career path.

"The increasing need for specialization in agriculture makes a variety of agricultural career options possible. Our goal is to encourage more young people to pursue these careers," says Rob Larson, General Manager.

Some local 2020 recipients included:

Carley Jo Ciolkosz of Thorp

Matthew Orlin Fischer of Owen

Danika Griepentrog of Spencer

Olivia Horn of Loyal

Kaitlyn Kruse of Marshfield

Erin Rasmussen of Owen

Aryiah Schuh of Spencer

Heidi Strey of Osseo
