Three area school districts are among the 27 Indiana FFA chapters selected to receive funding through NIPSCO's inaugural Focus on the Farm: Applause to AG grant program, a $100,000 initiative supporting agricultural education across northern Indiana.
The Caston School Corporation, Bremen Public Schools and Oregon Davis Jr./Sr. High School were each named recipients of the grant, which is designed to provide students with hands-on learning, leadership development, career readiness, classroom enhancements, and participation in agricultural competitions and experiences.
Northern Indiana Public Service Company LLC (NIPSCO), with support from the NiSource Charitable Foundation and in partnership with the Indiana Future Farmers of America Foundation, announced the recipients of the program's first round of funding.
The awarded projects reflect the breadth of opportunities available through agricultural education, ranging from greenhouse and animal science improvements to agricultural mechanics, food science, leadership conferences, travel assistance, and student-led agricultural enterprises. The investments are designed to equip the next generation of agricultural leaders with the skills, experiences, and resources needed to succeed in Indiana's agriculture industry and rural communities.
