Biff McGhee Memorial Scholarship
Biff McGhee was a beloved brother-in-law who sadly passed away from cancer at the young age of fifty-five.

Any high school senior majoring in agriculture, farming, parks and recreation, wildlife, fishery, or another outdoors-related field may apply for this scholarship opportunity, but applicants who are residents of Georgia are preferred.
