April at Ohio State is often marked with the flurry of preparation for final exams and a sense of celebratory reflection as we look back at another academic year gone by, and the Department of Food, Agricultural and Biological Engineering (FABE) is no exception. On April 10th, 2019, FABE held its annual Student Scholarship and Awards Banquet. The day was spent at a showcase for the FABE and Agricultural Systems Management (ASM) capstone projects, while the evening was reserved for scholarship and award recipients.
This year, FABE gave out over 65 scholarships to current and incoming students, worth $107,000. Congratulations to all of the scholarship and award recipients:
