IBA offers Maralee Johnson memorial scholarship

In honor of her commitment to the beef and the agriculture industry, the Illinois Beef Association and the Johnson family will award one scholarship in memory of Maralee Johnson.  Johnson worked for IBA for 23 years, and prior to her death served as the executive vice-president of the organization for 13 years.

The $3,000 scholarship will be presented at the IBA Summer Conference in June. 

To be eligible, youth must be an Illinois resident from a family that is actively involved in beef production and currently an IBA member, attending or planning to attend a two or four-year college majoring in agriculture.  They must complete the application and write and original essay on “How I can impact the agriculture industry in the future”.

The deadline for the Maralee Johnson Memorial Scholarship is April 1, 2013.
