Ag Angels

Changing lives through opportunity.

Ag Angels is honored to announce the awarding of 14 trade school scholarships to graduating seniors from Highlands and Hardee Counties, totaling an incredible $66,000 in scholarship support this year.

Our founder, Scott Kirouac, had the distinct honor of representing our Ag Angels family of donors as these scholarships were presented to deserving students who are taking the next step toward their dreams. This year’s recipients will be pursuing careers in Nursing, Welding, Aviation, Commercial Truck Driving (CDL), Electrical Lineman, Cosmetology, and Medical Administration.

Each scholarship represents more than financial assistance—it represents belief, encouragement, and an investment in the future. These young men and women have chosen paths that will strengthen our communities, serve others, and help keep our economy moving forward.

At Ag Angels, we believe success comes in many forms, and career and technical education opens doors to meaningful, rewarding professions. We are proud to support students who are willing to work hard, learn valuable skills, and build bright futures for themselves and their families.

To our donors, thank you for making these opportunities possible. Your generosity is creating a lasting impact that will be felt for years to come.

Congratulations to all of this year’s scholarship recipients. We are inspired by your ambition, proud of your accomplishments, and excited to watch your journeys unfold.

The future is bright, and it’s in good hands.

The past ten days our founder Scott Kirouac has had the distinct honor of representing and sharing the amazing generosity of our amazing family of donors! We extend a very heartfelt thanks for their continued annual support that makes this possible every year. Your commitment to our mission of helping those who are less fortunate has provided the joy of Christmas to thousands of children for 19 years! We wish each and every one of you a very Merry Christmas & Happy New Year! God Bless🙏🏻

This past Saturday we were honored to partner with Pastor Jessica DeAcre and her church Iglesia Casa de Fe’, Esperanza y Amor and her amazing group of volunteers to bring the joy of Christmas to the migrant community in Sun n’ Lake South in Lake Placid. We give a very special thanks to Turner Furniture Co., The Red Easel and Seacoast Bank for your amazing toys that you donated from your toy drives! In today’s world communities like this don’t like to venture far from home where they feel safe so we brought Christmas to them. We would like to also extend a heartfelt thanks to our good friend Frank Youngman for providing hot dogs, chips and drinks for all those who attended. For most of these children this will be the only Christmas that they will have. God Bless each and every one of you that made this possible! Merry Christmas!
