EAST LANSING, MI -- Stephanie Weil of Goodrich, MI, was chosen as the 2016-17 recipient of the Archie Studer endowed scholarship through the Michigan Dairy Memorial Scholarship Foundation Inc. at Michigan State University (MSU).  The $4,000 scholarship is named after the late Archie Studer, who owned and operated Kenowa Acres Dairy Farm for more than 35 years.  Weil is the fifth recipient of the Studer Scholarship.

During her time at MSU, Weil has been involved in the MSU Dairy Club, Exclamation Percussion Ensemble, and her church’s Sunday School Program.
