Agricultural Economics Emeritus Faculty and Friends Scholarship Fund – A Q&A Session with Fred Delano
The Ag Econ Emeritus Faculty and Friends (EFFS) Fund is established by departmental emeritus faculty to provide scholarships for graduate students or prospective graduate students, or undergraduate student admitted to the graduate program in agricultural economics at Kansas State University whose graduate program benefit the Kansas agricultural economy.
Amanda Erichsen: As an Emeritus Faculty of this department, what importance does this fund represent towards strengthening the caliber of students that graduate from our degree programs?
Fred Delano: The value is at the margin, to use a term from from Ag Econ 101. The Founders of the EFFS Fund envisioned providing the Department with a competitive edge financially to attract top graduate school candidates to enhance our nationally recognized K-State program. The Founders also recognized a desire of non-alumni to ‘give back’ to a department and an institution providing a career of benefits.
