2021 Scholarship Winner Announced
Posted: June 10, 2021
The MSBA scholarship of $1,000 for 2021 was awarded to Ms. Lynne Thomas from Fallston, Maryland.
Lynn is an MSBA member who is attending WVU majoring in Agriculture and Extension education with minors in agribusiness management, horticulture, and food science and technology. Her career goal is to become an agri-science teacher and FFA advisor. Lynn has been involved with sheep since she was a toddler growing up on her great-grandparents farm. She began her own flock when she received ewe lamb through the YCP in 2016. Since then she has helped to promote sheep and wool through showing her sheep and several years of participating in MIWW. Throughout her involvement in 4-H, FFA, and leadership positions in school Lynn has consistently worked to share her knowledge and appreciation for sheep, wool, and agriculture. She clearly is a deserving applicant.
