The Growmark Foundation is once again offering a scholarship program for students in the United States and Ontario, Canada, pursuing two- or four-year degrees or trade school certification in an agriculture-related field. There will be 15 scholarships awarded for $1500 each in 2021.
“As our business has grown and evolved, we saw a need to provide a scholarship to students throughout the United States and Ontario, in addition to the scholarship programs already established in our core geography,” said Amy Bradford, Growmark corporate communications manager and Growmark Foundation manager. “Growmark and the FS member cooperatives are strong supporters of youth leadership education and this is one more way we can contribute to the future of agriculture.”
Applicants must complete an online application that includes academic information, community service and leadership activities, and essay questions regarding agriculture and cooperatives. Applications will be judged by a panel of agribusiness professionals.
Applications are due by midnight Central Time on April 14, 2022, and recipients will be notified by July 1, 2022.
