Hannah Fowler Receives Ag Scholarship
From the Dec 30, 2025 e-Edition
MARTIN, Tenn. — Hannah Fowler, a University of Tennessee at Martin sophomore agribusiness major from Atwood, is one of seven students nationwide to receive the 2025 Southern Agriculture Industry Advancement Scholarship from AMVAC, an American Vanguard company that specializes in the development, manufacturing, and marketing of products for agricultural use.
Fowler, a graduate of West Carroll High School, has a concentration in farm and ranch management. She was the lone Tennessee recipient of the scholarship.
Each recipient received a $2,000 scholarship to help them continue their educational and professional pursuits in the agriculture industry. These students’ fields of interest vary widely across the industry, including agribusiness, crop science, plant breeding and weed science.
“Agriculture has always been a part of my life,” Fowler told AMVAC. “Growing up on a row crop farm taught me where it all begins, and studying agribusiness lets me give back and make an impact. I’m so grateful to be chosen for this scholarship.”
To be eligible for the scholarship, applicants needed a nomination from a consultant or professor and experience studying agriculture or working in the industry between 2023 and 2025. The scholarship was open to high school seniors or students enrolled in an agriculture program at an accredited college or university.
