Agronomy student receives Soil and Water Conservation Scholarship
Isaac Nelson, a senior in the department of agronomy, received the Soil and Water Conservation Scholarship from the American Society of Agronomy. The scholarship is meant to encourage students to consider a career in soil and water conservation.
The scholarship is supported by funds from the Soil and Water Management & Conservation Division to the Agronomic Science Foundation and administered by the Soil Science Society of America. It aims to bring back into focus the vital necessity and passion for the discipline by encouraging current students to consider a career in soil and water conservation.
Nelson, originally from Mission, is studying soil and environmental science and natural resources and environmental science. He is a member of the Soil and Water Conservation Society, the Wheat State Agronomy Club and the K-State Soil Judging Team. Nelson has also been a student worker for the K-State Soybean Breeders and a lab teaching assistant for the Soil Genesis course taught by DeAnn Presley, professor of agronomy.
