The Paul M. Crandall Family Agriculture Scholarship was created to honor Paul Milo Crandall, Jr. who passed away in August 2022.

For over 60 years, Paul farmed – with his parents Paul Crandall, Sr. and Maxine Crandall, his wife Margaret Crandall and their children – successfully managing the family’s properties, crops and livestock. Paul believed strongly in contributing to the welfare of one’s community, and served on the Warren County Fair Board, Roseville School Board, and numerous other church and community committees.

The Paul M. Crandall Family Agriculture Scholarship is a $1,000 award to a qualified senior from Monmouth-Roseville High school (Monmouth, IL) who is pursuing an agriculture-related degree at an Illinois college with plans to work in an agriculture-related career in Illinois after completing their college degree.
