The 2021 Lallemand Forward Scholarship committee announces the recipients of five scholarships.­­­­ Winners range from doctoral students to undergraduates in this unique program that supports both up-and-coming and established scholars within agriculture.

This program also helps students that are well on their way to achieving great things in agriculture,” says Kip Karges, Ph.D., technical services manager for Lallemand Animal Nutrition, North America. “This year, the committee reviewed hundreds of applications. These applications show great enthusiasm about our industry and reaffirms the bright future of agriculture and food production.”
