Here at AgVenture Pinnacle of Olivia, we are excited to contribute to the youth in rural areas who are inspired to seek opportunities in agriculture. We feel agriculture surrounds us all in some way either directly or indirectly and we want to help individuals to become successful in their agricultural goals.
We are offering a variety of scholarships in 2016. We encourage all qualified applicants to apply. Best of luck to all future ag students!
