Two SUNY Morrisville students are among this year’s recipients of Farm Credit East Scholarships, recognizing students pursuing careers in agriculture.
SUNY Morrisville recipients are Megan Klossner, of Turin, an agricultural science bachelor’s degree student specializing in dairy management and Hailey Lincoln Williamson, of Chase Mills, who is majoring in agricultural science and agricultural business.
Farm Credit East’s scholarship program supports students with diverse career aspirations in agriculture and is one of the Northeast’s largest agricultural lenders.
“This year’s scholarship recipients aspire to make a difference in their communities and are well on their way to becoming future industry leaders and entrepreneurs,” said Farm Credit East CEO Mike Reynolds.
Klossner also received a Farm Credit East “Futures” Scholarship, awarded to students planning careers in production agriculture. Klossner intends to return to her family’s dairy farm, where she plans to focus on genetics.
At SUNY Morrisville, Klossner is a member of the Dairy Judging Team, which earned an invitation to compete internationally at the Royal Highland Show in Scotland and the Charleville Show in the Republic of Ireland this year. She also served as one of the student leaders for the college’s Annual Cattle Sale.
Williamson is a member of the SUNY Morrisville softball team.
