KFB Foundation expands leadership scholarships with $15,000 grant

The Kansas Farm Bureau (KFB) Foundation for Agriculture will expand scholarship opportunities after receiving a $15,000 Bill House Agricultural Grant from the Community Foundation of Southeast Kansas (CFSEK). The funding is intended to help rural and agricultural leaders across the state take part in leadership development programs.

The grant will support KFB Foundation’s existing leadership scholarship program, which offsets costs such as travel, registration, and lodging. The scholarships are designed to make it easier for more participants to build skills, relationships, and confidence for serving their communities.

Scholarship recipients can attend events including KFB’s Annual Meeting, Day at the Statehouse, Young Farmers & Ranchers Leaders Conference, and Women Grow the Farm. The Bill House grant draws on the legacy of Swain William “Bill” House, a Kansas rancher and attorney whose legacy funds through CFSEK support agricultural education and scholarships.
