AWARDS
Grootfontein College of
Agriculture Student Awards
Minette van Lingen
The GSSA trophy, together with a
certificate, is awarded to a deserving
third year Grootfontein student. This
award is made to a final year student
who achieved the highest marks for
rangeland, pasture and environmen-
tal management modules, with an av-
erage of at least 70% for all modules.
In 2018, this prestigious award was
presented to Nienke Scholtz during
the diploma ceremony at Grootfon-
tein. She has a passion for agriculture
and this was evident in her commit-
ment throughout her studies. She has
enrolled for the B. Agric course at the
University of the Free State.
