WHY YOU SHOULD STUDY AGRICULTURE
As part of Farm Credit’s centennial celebration, the Farm Credit Foundation for Agricultural Advancement is kicking off a new scholarship program. We’ll be awarding 10 scholarships worth $10,000 each to students planning to pursue a career in agriculture.
Yes, you read that correctly – a total of $100,000 in scholarships will go directly to local students!
Not sure if you fit the bill? There’s more to agriculture than farming.
