The Grant County Copper CowBelles proudly award Tanah Lowe, the annual $500 scholarship for the 2017-2018 school year.
Miss Lowe has entered her junior year at New Mexico State University and is pursuing a degree in Agricultural and Extension Education with the goal of becoming an Agriculture and 4-H Agent.
This past summer she interned at the State 4-H office on the campus of NMSU. The experience gave her a greater insight as to how the 4-H organization operates. Currently she is serving a term as a 2017-2018 College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences Ambassador.
Miss Lowe was a recipient of the 2016-2017 CowBelles scholarship as well.
