Advancing the Future of Agriculture

The Farm Credit Foundation for Agricultural Advancement is entering its fourth year! We’re giving away even more scholarships to agriculture teachers and students in 2020.

We have a total of ten agriculture teacher scholarships, each valued at $2,500, and another ten student scholarships, each valued at $10,000, to help those planning to pursue a career in agriculture.

The agriculture teacher scholarship program is open to all middle and high school agriculture teachers who reside in MidAtlantic Farm Credit’s territory and are looking to obtain an advanced degree in agriculture or continuing education credits. Applications for the agriculture teacher scholarship will be accepted online starting August 1, 2019 through September 27, 2019.

The student scholarship program is open to all high school seniors and those currently enrolled in a higher education program who reside in MidAtlantic Farm Credit’s territory. Students don’t have to be planning to be a farmer to be eligible. You could be dreaming of being a food scientist, ag teacher, veterinarian, lawyer, or Farm Credit employee! Applications for the student scholarship will be accepted online starting September 27, 2019 through January 10, 2020. Visit FCFoundationForAg.org for more information.
