Five 2025 Louisiana high school graduates are pursuing careers in agriculture with the help of the Louisiana Farm Bureau Foundation Linda and Wayne Zaunbrecher Scholarships.
The Linda and Wayne Zaunbrecher Scholarship awards up to $3,000 per academic year to five high school graduates pursuing degrees in agriculture. Students who maintain academic and curriculum eligibility may continue their scholarship for a total of four consecutive years. Applicants or their parents must be Louisiana Farm Bureau members.
The 2025 scholarship recipients are Charli Boudreaux, Owen Kelly, Andie Markway, Sydney Phelps and Hannah Timmons.
Recipients are selected based on academic achievement, ACT scores, individual leadership in their high school and community, participation in selected parish and state Farm Bureau activities, and financial need.
