The Otero College Foundation along with Otero College’s agriculture department is excited to announce the 14th Annual Otero Ag Gala. All proceeds from the Ag Gala benefit students majoring in Agriculture Science at Otero College through the Ag Premier Scholarship.
The goal each year is to be able to continue assisting students who want to pursue degrees in the agriculture field with scholarship funds. Students receive $2,000 to help pay for tuition, fees, and books. The support from the community and individuals for this event is appreciated by all students in the agricultural sciences department.
