Colleges Receive 'Luke Bryan Farm Tour' Scholarships
Luke Bryan performs during his fifth Farm Tour.
2013 CMA Entertainer of the Year nominee Luke Bryan wrapped his fifth Farm Tour over the weekend, performing for 115,000 fans during the course of the eight-city run. Eight local colleges–one in each city that the Farm Tour visited–will receive a Luke Bryan Farm Tour Scholarship, which will be given to a student from a farming family within each community.
Those colleges include:
Statesboro, Ga. – Georgia Southern University
Athens, Ga.- University of Georgia
Columbia, S.C. – University of South Carolina
Macon, Ga.- Mercer University
Villa Rica, Ga.- University of West Georgia
Auburn, Ala.- Auburn University
Tallahassee, Fla.- Florida State University
Valdosta, Ga. – Valdosta State University
The idea for the Farm Tour concerts was conceived as a way to give back to local farming communities, by celebrating American farmers and offering a fun escape with the outdoor shows. Farm Tour 2013 was sponsored by BMI, Cabela’s, Harveys Supermarket, Miller Lite and Texaco.
