The Colvin Scholarship Fund was created to honor Louis M. “Mick” Colvin, a cofounder and former executive director of Certified Angus Beef. Last year, the fund supported 27 students, with awards ranging from $2,000 to $7,500. This ongoing commitment to education underscores the organization’s role in shaping a sustainable future for the agriculture industry.
For students interested in advancing their education and careers in this vital sector, the Colvin Scholarship Fund represents a significant opportunity that combines financial support with professional growth.
