Sussex County Board of Agriculture's The Gracie's Scholarship application is now available. Seldom in one's life does one meet a truly dynamic personality. The Sussex County Board of Agriculture had the privilege of meeting such a spirited soul. Grace Honigsberg was not just involved in Agriculture, Agriculture was her way of life, and her life's passion.
She was Miss Frankford Township in 2013 and a graduate of High Point High School. She was very active in Sussex County 4-H as a member in her youth and as a leader of several livestock clubs as an adult. Grace was a member of several livestock associations and won top national awards for her livestock. She was the 2013 Sussex County Youth Agricultural Ambassador. She was a member of the Sussex County Board of Agriculture receiving the Next Generation of Agriculture Award in 2015. Ms. Honigsberg was a member of the NJ Farm Bureau and served as past president of the NJ Young Farmer’s and Ag Professionals. Her passion for agriculture led Grace to travel nationally, representing the state of NJ at several American Farm Bureau events, with a focus on accurate agriculture education.
It is in Gracie's honor that the Sussex County Board of Agriculture announces the formation of a yearly Agricultural Scholarship of $500 a year to any student focusing her/his education in the field of Agriculture.
In forming this Scholarship we know that Gracie's enthusiasm, joyous spirit and love of all things agricultural will continue in Sussex County and beyond. If you are interested in continuing your Agriculture education this scholarship is open for you, no matter your GPA, for college or technical school, student or adult. For more information and application, please contact your high school guidance councilor or check at the SussexcountyBoardofAgriculture.org.
