Supporting the Next Generation: KCAA Awards 21 Youth Ag Scholarships in Partnership with the Mason-Kitsap Farm Bureau

The KCAA, in partnership with Mason-Kitsap Farm Bureau, awarded 21 scholarships to youth in the 1st Annual Junior Livestock Youth Scholarship during the month of March!  This scholarship was designed to help youth livestock producers get started by covering some of the up-front costs associated with raising an animal for the Junior Livestock Auction.  This scholarship was open to participants in grades K-12 in Kitsap and Mason counties - supporting both small and large animal projects. Large animal scholarships were $200 each, and small animal scholarships were $100 each.

Congratulations to our 2026 youth scholarship recipients!
