Muenster teen awarded Ag. scholarship
A Grade 12 student at Muenster High School has received $4,000 toward her agriculture-related post-secondary studies.
Emma Hinz is the grand-prize winner of the 2018 Agriculture Student Scholarship.
“I was a little bit surprised. I just kind of told my story and I’m really happy that it worked out,” she said.
Applicants were required to provide a letter of reference and submit a 1,000 word science-based essay or a three-minute video-based on their personal food story. Hinz’s winning essay submission discussed how her unique dietary restrictions shaped her food story and helped her recognize the importance of agricultural advancements.
