DIXON, CA (MPG) - Cody Barr, Dixon High School Class of 2025 graduate, is the Ernie and Mary Weyand Dixon Rotary Foundation Scholarship recipient for $27,000.

Barr will attend Utah State University in the fall. Barr will continue to receive this scholarship throughout all his higher education as long as he maintains a 3.0 GPA and majors in an agricultural-related field. 

The Dixon Rotary Club is honored to be selected by Ernie and Mary Weyand to choose a student each year to receive their scholarship. The club wants to help Dixon students who want to pursue a higher education in an agricultural or agriculture-related field, so they set up a scholarship fund. Each year, a qualified student will receive a minimum of $25,000 as long as they meet the following criteria.

The student must be a resident of Dixon for at least three consecutive years before applying for the scholarship,  must be in good standing, graduating from a Dixon high school, majoring in agriculture or an agriculture-related field, show an economic need for the funds, maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher and be involved in community work during the years of education.
