The National Pork Producers Council (NPPC) is now accepting applications for the 2023 Lois Britt Memorial Pork Industry Scholarship awards. Ten $2,500 scholarships are awarded to students annually who intend to pursue a career in the pork industry with aspirations to become industry leaders. The scholarships are sponsored by CME Group and the National Pork Industry Foundation.
“Our industry is evolving, and the success of America’s pork farming will depend on the next generation of leaders,” said Terry Wolters, NPPC president and owner of Stoney Creek Farms in Pipestone, Minnesota. “That is why the Lois Britt Memorial Pork Industry Scholarship is so important because it inspires and supports students seeking careers in the pork industry.”
