WCMA announces $19,000 in scholarships for future dairy processing leaders
Funds for WCMA’s scholarship program come from the annual Championship Cheese Auction.
The Wisconsin Cheese Makers Association (WCMA) said seven current and future dairy industry professionals were selected to receive a total of $19,000 in scholarship funds in 2022. Each year, Madison, Wis.-based WCMA supports the dairy industry’s next generation through these scholarship awards.
Dairy processors and their family members are eligible for the WCMA Myron P. “Mike” Dean Cheese Industry Student Scholarship. Over 25 years, WCMA has awarded these $3,000 scholarships to 44 students. Winners of the 2022 Mike Dean Cheese Industry Student Scholarships are Bailee Aisenbrey and Jamie Feldmann, WCMA said.
