In 2019, the ARC scholarship program was renamed the Agricultural Relations Council/Charleston|Orwig Scholarship Program. Lyle E. Orwig, founder of Charleston|Orwig, now rebranded as C.O.nxt, is generously funding this program through an endowment he has established with the ARC Foundation.

ARC awards one, $1,500 scholarship for college students studying ag communications and public relations. Notices of the scholarship program will be sent to universities in January announcing the program, and will also contact the Ag Communicators of Tomorrow (ACT) students through its state chapters.
