MIDDLEPORT – FMC Corporation, which operates the Agricultural Sciences plant in Middleport, has honored a Royalton-Hartland High School 2025 graduate with a $2,000 FMC Scholarship from the local plant.

The scholarship was awarded to Emily Livergood of Lockport based on judging of her 350-word essay in which students were asked to describe the field of study they intend to pursue and the career goals they hope to achieve.

FMC is committed to education and supporting students as they pursue their career aspirations.

“We’re very pleased to award this scholarship to Emily as part of the FMC For Good campaign focus area of Education & Opportunity: Advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion in Agriculture and STEM,” said Barbara Pilmore, FMC Middleport plant manager. “At FMC, we recognize the importance of supporting young people who are pursuing careers in these areas.  It’s an important part of our commitment to this community.”

Emily Livergood will be continuing her education this fall at the University of Buffalo, majoring in chemical engineering. During her years at Roy-Hart, Emily was an accomplished scholar and athlete (tennis and volleyball), while also being very actively involved in student government, band and other extracurricular activities, in which she often took on leadership roles. She also actively participated in a wide range of community service projects.
