CAMBRIDGE − Two Guernsey County students will each receive a $500 scholarship to help with expenses for their upcoming academic year, thanks to the Guernsey County Farm Bureau.
Aspen Jones and Avery Vasko of Cambridge were selected as 2024 scholarship recipients.
Aspen is the daughter of Jeff and Mickey Jones. Her parents are her greatest source of inspiration. “The study journey seemed overwhelming when I started, and I didn’t know where to start. Their help, support and guidance made the journey much more manageable,” said Aspen.
“Growing up, raising livestock and being a member of 4-H have been an important part of my life. There are a lot of life lessons learned that you just can’t learn in the classroom,” she continues. Aspen is a student at Muskingum University majoring in early childhood education. After graduation, her goal is to be accepted into a school in Guernsey County.
Avery Vasko is the daughter of Brad and Jaynie Vasko. Her friends, family, co-workers and livestock inspired her to pursue farming. Avery volunteers at Breaking Free Therapeutic Riding Center and is active in 4-H, FFA and livestock showing. Avery will attend Ohio State ATI to double major in animal biosciences and livestock management. Avery said, “After I finish at ATI, I plan to continue my studies to attend veterinary school and eventually become a great animal veterinarian.”
