Two agribusiness graduate students, Naila McCraney and Andrew Miller, each recently received a $2,500 scholarship award for academic excellence, sponsored by the Florida Fertilizer and Agrichemical Association (FFAA) Scholarship.
Both are second-year graduate students with outstanding grade point averages who are working on their master’s theses under the supervision of Agribusiness Assistant Professor Michée A. Lachaud, Ph.D., in the College of Agriculture and Food Sciences (CAFS).
“I am not surprised that Naila and Andrew received this scholarship and will receive more in the future, because they are very smart, exemplary, serious, and hard-working students. It is fun working with them and we are proud of their work,” said Lachaud.
“Receiving this scholarship is proof of the students developing within the agricultural business program and that we are worth investing in,” said McCraney, who is from Hammond, Louisiana.
