Andrew Wargo III Endowed Scholarship

Andrew Wargo III has spent more than 50 years as a farm manager for the Baxter Land Company, where he has helped guide a conservation and stewardship plan that is emulated around the country. He has steered a large row-crop farm, been a part of the catfish business, and managed the farm’s cotton gin. Mr. Wargo grew up in Little Rock, AR, and he received a degree in Agriculture Engineering from Arkansas State University and was a member of the A-State Sport Parachute Team that won the National Collegiate Championships in 1964. Mr. Wargo’s passion for Arkansas State led to him wanting to establish a scholarship for students in the College of Agriculture. His $29,000 endowment will provide new opportunities for students in Agriculture and wants to support those in the area of study that played such a major role in his career.
