Madison SWCD presents 2025 Conservation Scholarship to Karly Christensen

The Madison County Soil & Water Conservation District (SWCD) commissioners were pleased to present the 2025 Conservation Scholarship to Karly Christensen at their monthly meeting on April 16.  Ms. Christensen, a senior at Winterset High School, is planning to attend Iowa State University in the fall. 

Madison SWCD has been accepting scholarship applications on behalf of Conservation Districts of Iowa (CDI) for many years, but has only been offering its own local scholarship award since 2023.  The scholarships are open to graduating high school seniors pursuing programs of study in conservation or agriculture.
