GreenStone Farm Credit Services, an agricultural lender based in East Lansing, recently announced $21,000 in scholarships for seven
Michigan State University College of Veterinary Medicine students.
"We believe in supporting the education of those who are our potential future customers and helping to make sure agricultural businesses are profitable down the road by strengthening the resources of the future," says Melissa Rogers, GreenStone's Vice President of Marketing and Public Relations.
GreenStone is committed to preparing tomorrow's leaders for their careers in the diverse agriculture industry. The scholarship recipients are passionate about veterinary medicine and help preserve the legacy of Michigan's agriculture industry. GreenStone feels it is important to help these students succeed, as they will be the next generation of veterinarians helping members maintain healthy and productive herds.
"It about more than just the bottom line for us," explains Rogers. "It's about being involved in and delivering quality resources to our local communities."
