The Growmark Foundation is offering a $1,500 scholarship program for students in the United States and Ontario, Canada, pursing two- or four-year degrees or trade school certification in an agriculture-related fi e l d .

“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, corporate communications manager and 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 which includes academic information, community service and leadership activities, and essay questions regarding agriculture and cooperatives. Applications will be judged by a panel of agri business professionals.

High school seniors or students at any level of higher education may complete the application, which can be found at https://www. growmark.com/about-us/ corporate-commitments

Applications are due by midnight central time on April 15, and recipients will be notified by July 1.
