BISMARCK, N.D. – The North Dakota Farm Bureau (NDFB) announced in December several scholarships worth $1,000 for high school students, undergraduates, and individuals studying agriculture. Additionally, a $2,500 Student Volunteer Scholarship is available to students who volunteer through Farm Bureau.
NDFB will be granting scholarships in five categories, including a scholarship for college students pursuing an agriculture-related degree, an NDFB family member scholarship, one for high school seniors who will be enrolled in any ag-related post-secondary school, and the Becki Palmer Scholarship, which recognizes academic achievement as well as leadership skills of high school seniors.
The NDFB Student Volunteer Scholarship is for $2,500 and will be granted to a student who volunteers through NDFB. This scholarship is awarded based on a point system, and students can earn additional points by becoming a student member of NDFB.
These scholarships are made possible through the generous contributions received by the NDFB Foundation. A significant portion of the funds for this year’s scholarships was raised through a live auction held at the NDFB Annual Meeting in November, where over $22,000 was raised. The NDFB Promotion and Education Committee sponsored the auction.
Interested candidates can apply for these scholarships at www.ndfb.org/edusafe/scholarships. The deadline for applications is March 1.
Tax-deductible donations can be sent to the NDFB Foundation at PO Box 2064, Fargo, N.D., 58107 for those interested in contributing to the scholarship fund; specify that your gift is intended for the scholarship fund.
