Earlier this month, an Escalon student was honored by the Oklahoma State University Ferguson College of Agriculture with academic scholarship support for the 2026-2027 academic year.

Matthew Dyk, in the Agricultural Systems Technology program, received the Joseph Fleming Memorial Freshman Scholarship.

These scholarships are part of the more than $1.8 million that students receive from the Ferguson College and its academic departments. Students from all areas of study are considered for university scholarships, which can be combined with college and departmental opportunities.

“We are proud to support our new students as they begin their academic careers in the Ferguson College,” said Cynda Clary, associate dean of academic programs. “We look forward to seeing the accomplishments they will have and are grateful for our donors, who support these scholarships and the success of our students.”
