Farm Credit's 2022 Student Scholarship Program

The Farm Credit Foundation for Agricultural Advancement will be awarding at least $100,000 in scholarships to students who are planning to attend or are currently enrolled as students at a college, university, or technical school, pursuing a career in agriculture. The application will open online on September 24, 2021 and the deadline for all applications and supporting materials is January 7, 2022.

“The future of agriculture lies with our youth,” says Charles Wright IV, Chairman of the Farm Credit Foundation for Agricultural Advancement. “We encourage any student who plans to work in the agriculture industry to apply for this scholarship opportunity. You don’t need to be a farmer – this applies to what we like to call the ‘other side of ag’ as well, like being a teacher, veterinarian, loan officer, or engineer.”

The Farm Credit Foundation for Agricultural Advancement’s scholarship program will award at least ten scholarships in 2022, each valued at $10,000. This program is open to high school seniors and students currently enrolled in a two or four year educational program. All applicants must be planning to pursue a career in agriculture, and must reside within Horizon Farm Credit’s five-state territory or Washington D.C.

Applications are being accepted online now through January 7, 2022. For more information, please visit FCFoundationforAg.org or email info@FCFoundationforAg.org. Be sure to follow us on social media with the hashtag #OtherSideOfAg.
