The Arthur Lovington Atwood Hammond (ALAH) FFA Alumni has recently selected six students to receive scholarships in 2018. 
 
The chapter, chartered in 2014, has over 100 members with the purpose “to provide leadership, mentoring, and financial assistance to the agricultural education program at Arthur Lovington Atwood Hammond High School.”  The scholarship fund receives donations, fundraising, and proceeds from the variety test plot hosted by Jeff Davis of Hammond. Students fill out an application and are interviewed by Alumni prior to selection.

Janette is the daughter of T.G. and Dawn Redfern of Lovington. She will be enrolled at Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville majoring in business. 
 
Zane Crist is the son of Richard and Ericka Crist of Atwood and will attend the University of Illinois in the College of Agriculture and Consumer Economics. 
 
Colton Romine is the son of Tedd and Amanda Romine of Atwood. He will major in Business Management at Indiana State University in Terre Haute. 
 
Receiving a $500.00 scholarship is Kimberly Davis of Hammond. She is the daughter of Scott and Monica Davis. Kimberly is enrolled at Parkland College in Applied Sciences. 
 
The Alumni awarded two scholarships for students to attend the Washington Leadership Conference in Washington, DC later this summer. Receiving scholarships are Katie Gingerich of Sullivan and Makenna Green of Arthur.
