At last weeks race at Kansas Speedway Bowyer completed 267 laps to fund a $10,138 FFA scholarship thru Dekalb.
The Winning Has Roots scholarship will help one qualified student fund their continued education. The scholarship was created by DEKALB to help students achieve their goals and advance the agriculture industry by focusing on performance. The scholarship amount was determined by the number of laps Bowyer completed with the No. 14 DEKALB FFA Ford Mustang. A base amount of $6,400 was to be awarded to the Winning Has Roots recipient with an increase of $14 for every lap Clint completed. If all 267 laps were completed, the scholarship increased to $10,138. This is the second annual scholarship program for the DEKALB brand.
Eligible FFA members who are high school seniors or college freshmen, sophomores or juniors pursuing an agriculture-related major in agribusiness systems, biotechnology systems or plant systems can apply for the scholarship now through January 14 2021 by visiting the National FFA website at FFA.org/scholarships. The scholarship winner will be notified by FFA in May 2021.
