The Wapello County Farm Bureau is proud to recognize Carly Sloan, a senior at Cardinal High School, as one of this year’s Wapello County Farm Bureau Scholarship recipients. Carly is the daughter of Kevin and Tiffany Sloan and has demonstrated exceptional academic dedication, strong leadership abilities, and a deep commitment to agriculture and her community throughout her high school career.
Carly plans to attend Indian Hills Community College, where she will major in Dental Hygiene with a minor in Dental Assisting. During high school, she has been actively involved in numerous extracurricular activities, including volleyball, varsity wrestling and football cheerleading, FFA, FBLA, IJAG, National Honor Society, FCA, and Student Council. She has also taken on several leadership roles, serving as varsity football cheer caption, vice president and president of FBLA, vice president of service learning for IJAG, and reporter and president of FFA.
Carly is part of the eighth generation of her family farm, where she has experienced firsthand the pride that comes from working hard for others. Growing up on the farm has taught her the value of hard work and the importance of serving those around her rather than working solely for personal gain. These lessons have played a significant role in shaping her future goals. One of Carly’s main reasons for attending a local college is the opportunity to remain active on her family’s farming operation while continuing her education. She plans to begin with the one-year Dental Assisting program, which serves as a prerequisite for the Dental Hygiene program, where she will earn a two-year associate degree. After graduating, Carly plans to seek employment locally as a dental hygienist while continuing to work part-time on the family farm.
