The Findlay·Hancock County Chamber Agri-Business Committee has awarded seven $500 scholarships to Hancock County students who are planning to, or already pursuing, a career in an agriculturally related field. The scholarships were funded with money raised from the committee’s annual Farmers’ Share Breakfast at Brugeman Lodge at Riverbend and Fresh Whole Hog Sausage Sale.

Each workshop may be taken for 22.5 contact hours of Local Professional Development Committee credit, at a cost of $125, or, on a pass/fail basis, for one semester hour of graduate workshop credit, for $275. Lunches are included; other meals and housing are available.
