Just under two hundred participants and nearly ninety sponsors generated nearly $27,000 (net) during the 2006 Golf for Scholarships events! Once again OABA members and friends demonstrated their willingness to "dig deep" to support students pursuing fields of study leading to careers in agribusiness. The OABA Educational Trust Fund, including its stewardship of the Greenleaf Agri-Industry Award, provides between $30,000 & $40,000 annually to students attending the following institutions: OSU Agricultural Technical Institute (ATI), Clark State Community College, The Ohio State University, Owens Community College and Wilmington College. On their behalf, we say THANK YOU! For more information about OABA scholarships, select the "Scholarships" tab on the OABA website at http://www.oaba.net/
