Local Student Awarded $2,500 Dairy MAX Scholarship

Tue, 07 Jun 2022 13:39:03 CDT

Ali Bowman of Stillwater, Oklahoma, was selected to receive a 2022 Dairy MAX scholarship. Bowman is one of three students to receive a $2,500 scholarship award from Dairy MAX to go towards their college education. The Dairy MAX scholarship program honors dairy farmers' commitment to their communities and giving back to the next generation.


"Dairy farmers believe in the next generation," said Marty McKinzie, Dairy MAX's chief growth officer. "The Dairy MAX scholarship program is not only a great way for the organization to support our members and the youth but illustrates the dairy industry's commitment to giving back to their communities. We are honored to have these three students represent Dairy MAX and the industry."


Bowman is a sophomore at Oklahoma State University studying animal science focusing on livestock merchandising. Bowman is heavily involved in the dairy industry both off-campus and on campus, where she serves as the calfhood manager. Bowman knows how important it is to give back to the next generation and plans to obtain her Master's degree in rural community development and youth engagement.


"Throughout the course of my education and then after, I wish to continue my journey within the dairy industry," said Bowman. "I want to give back to an industry that has shaped me into the person that I am today by advocating for and engaging youth within the dairy industry."


A total of 21 scholarship applications underwent an in-depth judging process. To be eligible for the Dairy MAX scholarship, students must reside in the Dairy MAX region, be a graduating high school senior or an undergraduate student currently enrolled in college and be a child of a dairy farmer, child of a dairy farm employee, or an FFA/4-H dairy show participant.


"Bowman represents the dairy industry well, and her efforts in furthering her education make her a great leader for the dairy industry. We are honored to be a part of her success," said McKinzie.


Investing in the recipients' education propels dairy forward to continue feeding the world while nourishing communities. The 2023 Dairy MAX Scholarship application will open in January 2023.
