The scholarships are based on the highest overall grade point average and exceptional work performances with their sponsoring dealers. Peyton Hobby, from Sherwood, received a $1,000 John Deere Tech scholarship, sponsored by Greenway Equipment in Stuttgart.
In addition, several online students received John Deere TECH scholarships. Elijah Friesz received a $1,000 scholarship, sponsored by North Dakota Gooseneck Implement in Elgin.

“These scholarships can be used to purchase tools and equipment needed to start their careers as full-time John Deere technicians after graduation,” said Jake Selvidge, director and advanced instructor for the ASU-Beebe John Deere agriculture equipment technology program.
The John Deere agriculture equipment technology program is designed to prepare students to excel as technicians in the high-tech, fast-paced field of agricultural mechanization. Students who complete the two-year program are awarded an Associate of Applied Science in agriculture equipment technology.
