Scholarships and university support
We are committed to helping build the next generation of leaders and a strong ag talent pipeline. That’s why the Ä¢¹½Ö±²¥ Foundation provides scholarships and supports engaging projects at colleges and universities that enhance ag career pathways and ag education. Working closely with 25 two- and four-year collegiate partners across the county, we have helped award more than 225 scholarships each year to students enrolled in leading ag programs. Check out the map below to see if scholarships are offered at your school.
