NIOP Scholarship Fund
NIOP's Albert F. Mogerley Scholarship
At its 85th Annual Convention (2019), the NIOP named its scholarship program in honor of Albert F. Mogerley.
Mr. Mogerley was a mentor to many in the Oilseed Industry. He gave selflessly to the industry through years of personal and professional dedication and leadership. Mr. Mogerley was a postive and encouraging force in the industry. Following his death, several members of the board quickly determined that it would “fitting” to name the scholarship fund in Mr. Mogerley’s honor. It is the organization’s goal that Mr. Mogerley’s example and legacy live on.
The Albert F. Mogerley Scholarship is offered as a membership benefit to all members who have children pursuing a higher education, regardless of his/her field of study.
Two of Mr. Mogerley’s daughters, Laurie Rogers (left) and Cheryl Moore (right), were in attendance at the 2019 Convention to accept a plaque and recognition of the naming of the scholarship fund for their father. Here, Laurie and Cheryl are pictured with Anna Bunger, a 2021 scholarship recipient.
