The John and Isabelle Ames family announces a scholarship opportunity – a $750 award established in memory of John and Isabelle Ames of Ames-Way Holsteins of Darien, Wisconsin.  The scholarship is awarded annually to a college sophomore or junior with current or recent involvement in 4-H, FFA, or the Registered Holstein Industry who is seeking a four-year degree in any field. 

Mr. and Mrs. Ames were avid supporters of education.  All nine of their children received a college degree which was a source of pride for them.  Academic success, need, community and school involvement, and future plans and goals will all be considered when selecting a recipient. Evidence of a student’s personal contribution toward financing his/her education is also important. Preference will be given to applicants who demonstrate a commitment toward completion of a degree.

Application deadline – postmarked by March 1, 2023 or received by email by midnight on 3/1/2023

Application form is available by contacting Janice Berezowitz at j_berezowitz@yahoo.com.
