Freshman FFA member receives $1,100 scholarship

The FFA Alumni is dedicated to helping young adults develop their potential for premier leadership, personal growth and career success. While National FFA offers numerous opportunities, Washington Leadership Conference (WLC) creates a big impact.

Every year the Iowa FFA Alumni sends students on the life-altering experience known as WLC, and this year is no different.

After reviewing 10 applications, the awards committee has selected Nathan Manternach from the Osceola Big Chief FFA to receive the full ride scholarship to the conference. He is the son of Jan and Kent Manternach and attends Clarke Community School District.

During the five-day event, attendees learn how to become effective leaders by learning their purpose, how to value people and how to take action and serve others.

FFA members leave WLC with the knowledge and the confidence to act in ways that help their schools, community and country.
