            MONTICELLO, AR — Ashley Newcomb of Royal and Synthia Scott of Searcy have been selected to receive the 2016-17 Robert C. Kirst Endowed Scholarship presented annually by the School of Agriculture at the University of Arkansas at Monticello.

The scholarship is awarded to an agriculture major. The Alumni Society initiated an annual fund-raising activity every November prior to the opening day of deer season with the proceeds designated for the Kirst Scholarship.
            Newcomb is a junior animal science major while Scott is a senior, also majoring in animal science. For more information, contact the School of Agriculture at (870) 460-1014.
