The 2026 Brian Huffman Memorial Scholarship goes to Lily Hix of Louisa County High School. Each year, the scholarship committee reviews applications then selects and interviews candidates. Every year it becomes harder to choose our awardee!
Lily is extremely involved in her community, including 4H and the volunteer EMS and fire departments. She plans to attend Virginia Tech in the fall to study Animal Studies, and hopes to pursue a job as a large animal vet upon graduation. She also desires to return to Louisa County to continue supporting her local farmers and neighbors who helped shape who she is today. Congratulations, Lily!
The Brian M. Huffman Memorial Scholarship was established in 2014 by BIO-CAT. Brian was a dedicated and instrumental employee from BIO-CAT’s founding in 1988 and embodied the spirit that anything was possible with hard work and perseverance. He also believed in “giving back” whenever one was able to. This $5,000 scholarship was created with that in mind; to give back to the students, give back to the community, ultimately giving back to build a better future, and to always do so in Brian’s memory.
