The scholarship program is named in honor of the late Sam Noble (pictured), who created the program through a gift to the Noble Foundation. Noble believed that an education is something no one can take away from you.“The students who applied for this scholarship have exemplary academic records, making the selection committee’s job exceedingly difficult this year. The committee was impressed by the level of achievement of this year’s recipients in a highly competitive applicant pool. We look forward to seeing their future impacts on the fields of agriculture and technology.”
