Stevens receives scholarship

Amanda Stevens was one of three college students presented with a scholarship from the National Farmers Union Foundation in memory of Stanley Moore, a longtime North Dakota Farmers Union leader.

According to North Dakota Farmers Union Education Director Jennifer Sundeen, Stevens is a good role model for youth.

“Amanda worked as a camp counselor last summer and earned a Torchbearer Award in 2010,” Sundeen said. “She is a great leader and I am happy that she won this scholarship.”

Stevens is the daughter of John and Arlette Stevens, rural Valley City, N.D.

“All three students have demonstrated a commitment to improving rural America,” said NFU President Roger Johnson. “This year’s winners will be the next generation of leaders, and Farmers Union is proud of what they have accomplished so far and will continue to accomplish.”

NFU Foundation is now accepting applications for the 2013 Stanley Moore Scholarships. The NFU Foundation Moore scholarship is open to Farmers Union members and their children who are seeking funding to attend a two- or four-year accredited college or university, or technical school for any area of study. All applications must be postmarked on or before April 20 to be considered. To download the application, visit NFU’s Education page, or http://nfu.org/education/scholarships.
