Overview

The Blake Coghlan Memorial Ag Scholarship is awarded to a graduating high school senior from Mississippi pursuing an Agriculture-related degree at a Mississippi institution. This scholarship honors Blake's passion for farming and aims to support young individuals with similar commitments. Blake was known for his dedication to agriculture, his warm personality, and his ability to uplift those around him. The scholarship seeks to inspire future generations to follow in his footsteps.

Awarded to one graduating high school senior from Mississippi intending to study Agriculture or Agriculture related degree at a Mississippi 4-year or 2-year institution. The award is for a period of one academic year.
Blake had three passions in life: farming, baseball, and hunting. He excelled in all three. As a member of a 4th generation Mississippi farm family, Blake was a promising young farmer with an unwavering dedication to agriculture.
Blake was an exceptional individual, known for his authenticity, humility, and easy-going nature. He cherished spending time with his family and friends, whether by the water or on the farm. Blake had an incredible ability to turn the worst day into the best one with his magical hug, a funny joke, and a sly little grin that could melt anyone's heart. He was simply loved by everyone who met him. Tragically, his life was cut short due to an unfortunate accident.
To honor Blake's memory and his passion for agriculture, the Blake Coghlan Memorial Agriculture Scholarship Fund was established. This scholarship aims to inspire and support young individuals who share Blake's dedication to farming and agriculture.
