Noah Morris Memorial Scholarship
The Noah Morris Memorial Scholarship is awarded annually to honor the brief but rewarding life of Noah Morris. Noah was tragically killed in an automobile accident near his home on July 28, 2012.

Noah would have been a junior at Clinton High School where he was active in football and basketball. Noah’s true passion was exhibiting swine. He attended shows locally and across the United States. Noah touched many people with his big heart and amazing smile.

This annual scholarship will be awarded to those recipients who share his passion for showing pigs and wish to pursue a career in agriculture. It is our hope Noah’s dreams will make the scholarship recipient’s dreams come true as well.

The application deadline is Friday, February 14. For more information and to apply, click HERE .
