Brandy Armstrong, a premier agent with Farmers Union Insurance, presented a $1,000 scholarship to be awarded beginning in Fall 2026. The donation will fund four individual $250 scholarships, allowing multiple students to benefit.

“When I was given the opportunity as a premier agent to donate to a nonprofit of my choice, I wanted it to have the greatest local impact possible,” Armstrong said. “Education opens doors, and investing in students is really an investment in our community’s future. Rather than awarding one larger scholarship, I chose to break it into four smaller scholarships so more students could benefit.”

Armstrong added that his hope is that even a modest scholarship can help ease financial stress, encourage students to continue their education, and remind them that their community believes in them.

Scholarship recipients will be selected through UAHT’s established scholarship committee process, which ensures fairness and integrity by reviewing applications anonymously using student ID numbers. The selection process for the Fall 2026 award will begin in Summer 2026, with final verification occurring after the semester’s official add/drop period to ensure scholarships are awarded to eligible, enrolled students.

Farmers Union Insurance remains committed to reinvesting in the communities it serves by supporting education, local nonprofits, and initiatives that strengthen future generations.

A scholarship reception banquet is planned for late September, where donors and recipients will have the opportunity to meet, connect, and celebrate the impact of these scholarships.
