Seven students were selected from 17 qualified applicants for the 3^rd annual AMVAC Cotton Industry Advancement Scholarship. Each scholarship recipient received $2,000.

“Every year, it’s amazing to see the skill, knowledge and passion these students have for the cotton industry, and it’s an honor to support young leaders as they pursue their dream careers,” said Paul Vaculin, cotton marketing manager at AMVAC.

The 2021 Cotton Industry Advancement Scholarship Winners include:

Winners were selected by a panel of judges and awarded based on the merits of their application. All applicants were nominated by a practicing cotton consultant and worked for a cotton consultant between 2019 and 2021. Applicants also were required to be a senior in high school or currently enrolled full-time in an undergraduate or graduate-level agricultural program at an accredited college or university. Applicants who were not awarded a scholarship were given a $50 Amazon gift card for their participation.

Applications for the next Cotton Industry Advancement Scholarship will open in January 2022.
