Rich Ramm Memorial Scholarship

This scholarship is given in memory of Rich Ramm who was a local farmer and an agronomy graduate. He was active in farm and conservation groups and lived what he advocated. His death was felt by many and the scholarship was established with donations from his friends and family.

Annual contributions from friends of Rich Ramm have continued to add to the scholarship principal, thus increasing the interest earned. For example, from 1993 through 1998 the Woolrich Area Lions Club has donated the proceeds of their annual ham dinners and each year since 1994, Mr. P. Prentice Gilbert has been donating 10 shares of Amoco stock, worth approximately $500.00, to the Scholarship Fund. The amount of the scholarship is determined by the amount of interest earned during the previous year. This year the amount of $1000.00 will be awarded.

The scholarship is available to a graduating senior high school student or full-time college student who is enrolled in or has been accepted into an accredited program in the field of agriculture.

Primary consideration is given to those students who have continued to successfully challenge themselves throughout their academic years as indicated by course choice, grades, leadership and work experiences.
