Earle F. and Clara L. Low Scholarship in Agriculture in USA, 2014

The Earle F. and Clara L. Low Scholarship in Agriculture is available through the University of Central Missouri Foundation for a junior or senior student pursuing a degree in agriculture. This scholarship is made possible by way of a gift from the estate of Earle F. and Clara L. Low of Peoria, Arizona.

This scholarship is named in honor of Earle F. Low, who served for twenty-eight years as a faculty member and chair of the Department of Agriculture at Central Missouri State University. During his tenure he served on numerous state and national committees for the advancement of agriculture education.
