The purpose of this endowment is to honor Bill Harrison by creating enrichment activities for Agriscience Education within the Caledonia Community Schools, fulfilling the FFA motto that Dr. Harrison lived by: Learning to do, Doing to learn, Earning to live, Living to serve.
The endowment is managed by the Caledonia Education Foundation to benefit FFA members through scholarships, travel opportunities, leadership development and community service. Currently high school seniors can apply for a $500.00 non-renewable college scholarship.
