The William Bowen Copp and
Graydon S. Copp Agriculture Education Trust
HISTORY
The William Bowen Copp and Graydon S. Copp Agriculture Education Trust
scholarship will be given annually by a trust created under the Last Will and
Testament of Graydon S. Copp who died on July 7, 2002. Graydon S. Copp and
his brother, William Bowen Copp, operated a farm located in Charleston and
Covington Townships. Graydon Copp’s intent was to provide scholarships to
well-deserving Tioga County, Pennsylvania high school seniors who pursue
higher education in an agricultural field. This field has a broad spectrum of
possibilities and might include education in the field of animal sciences,
agricultural business management, bioresource research, crop and soil
science, fisheries and wildlife, food science and technology and general
agriculture, etc. to name a few.
