Grant Stevenson of Paul, Idaho
Syngenta recently announced Grant Stevenson of Paul, Idaho, as the first recipient of the Syngenta Sugarbeet Scholarship. Stevenson, a freshman at the College of Southern Idaho studying agri-business, was selected from a pool of applicants to receive the $5,000 award. The scholarship recognizes a student pursuing a career in agriculture who lives in or is attending school in a sugarbeet-growing state. This is the first year of this scholarship, a joint effort between Syngenta’s Hilleshog® Sugarbeet Seed, Syngenta Seedcare™ and Syngenta Crop Protection.

Stevenson’s roots in the sugarbeet industry date back to 1962, when his grandfather first planted beets. His family still owns and operates that now-1,800- acre south central Idaho farm.
Sugarbeet scholarship opportunities for 2011 will be announced at the American Sugarbeet Growers Association meeting in Tucson, Ariz., in February.
