A Wood County student was honored by the Oklahoma State University Ferguson College of Agriculture with academic scholarship support for the 2026-27 academic year. The scholarships were awarded at the 2026 scholarship and awards banquet, hosted by the Ferguson College on March 26.

Samantha VanVorhis, from Bowling Green, earned the Joseph Fleming Memorial Continuing Scholarship and is studying agricultural communications.

These scholarships are part of the more than $1.8 million that students receive from the Ferguson College and its academic departments. Students from all areas of study are considered for college scholarships, which can be combined with departmental and university awards.

“Our students continuously showcase academic and professional success through their endeavors in the Ferguson College,” said Cynda Clary, associate dean of academic programs. “These scholarships, made possible because of the generosity of our alumni and friends, are a testament to our students’ success, and it is a privilege to recognize them.”
