FFA Scholarship Recipient 2024

McKenzie Hoekstra

Each year at the California FFA State Conference, we present a $1,000 scholarship to one high school senior. This year we are proud to share that we awarded this scholarship to a very deserving and wonderful student.

Kenzie Hoekstra is a senior at Ripon-Christian FFA. This scholarship will go towards her education at Oklahoma State University, where she will be majoring in Ag Communications and minoring in Animal Science.

Kenzie would like to thank the Golden State Ag Foundation committee, supporters and sponsors for their time and commitment for the ag youth.
