The 2011 Commitment to Agriculture Scholarship Program is now accepting applications for four $1,500 scholarships.
These scholarships are intended for high school seniors from farming families who wish to enter agriculture-related programs from accredited colleges and universities. This includes agricultural science, agri-business, veterinary or other related fields.
The money is from the National Association of Farm Broadcasters who fund raise all year with Monsato to earn money for necessary scholarships. Money is awarded based on academic achievement, leadership and extra-curricular activities. Applicants must complete an application as well as a personal essay.
