KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Gabrielle Torrance, Media, Ill., received a $2,500 scholarship awarded by the Hereford Youth Foundation of America (HYFA) Oct. 27 at the American Hereford Association (AHA) Hereford Honorees Reception during the AHA Annual Meeting and Conference in Kansas City, Mo. This scholarship was one of 23 awarded through HYFA totaling more than $147,500.

The 19-year-old daughter of Scott and Monica Torrance, Gabrielle is a sophomore majoring in economics and sociology at Stanford University.

Gabrielle currently serves as the Illinois Junior Hereford Association (IJHA) president. Although attending one of the most prestigious colleges in the country, Emily still finds time to lead the 120-member IJHA and connect with National Junior Hereford Association (NJHA) members.

Many generous donations throughout the years from multiple supporters of Hereford youth make these scholarships possible.
