Nevada Heritage Foundation Glen and Shirley Hardy 2026 Memorial Scholarship

News & Media / January 16, 2026
The long-standing Dave Fulstone Scholarship has reached the end of its funding and is no longer being offered. In an effort to continue supporting Nevada graduating seniors with an interest in the agriculture sector, NHF is proud to introduce the Nevada Heritage Foundation Memorial Scholarship. This scholarship is dedicated to honoring individuals who have passed and left a lasting legacy in Nevada agriculture. Each year, NHF will select an honoree whose life exemplifies dedication to the well-being, sustainability, and future of agriculture in Nevada, and award scholarships to students who reflect those same values and characteristics.

The 2026 Memorial Scholarship is dedicated in memory of Glen and Shirley Hardy. Together, Glen and Shirley were instrumental in the establishment of the Clark County Junior Livestock Association (CCJLA). Their extensive service to the CCJLA Board, the Fair Board, the Nevada Farm Bureau, the Clark County Farm Bureau, and the broader agricultural community made a profound and lasting impact on Nevada’s agricultural heritage.

This scholarship stands as a tribute to Glen and Shirley Hardy’s lifelong commitment to agriculture, youth education, and community service, and continues NHF’s mission of investing in the next generation of Nevada agricultural leaders.

The scholarship committee reviews all applications and selects one outstanding student to receive financial support toward their education in an agriculture-related field. This award will be granted to the student who best demonstrates the ability to succeed in higher education and shows strong potential to give back to the agricultural industry and Nevada’s agricultural producers.
