Hi all, I'm planning to study agriculture and I'm in Indiana. Are there scholarships out there just for this field? Would love to hear if anyone knows about local or national opportunities!
Sure, there are a number of scholarships available for students studying agriculture, both within Indiana and nationally. Here are a few to get you started:
1. "Indiana State Poultry Association Scholarship": Specifically for Indiana residents pursuing a poultry or an agricultural-related degree. The award can vary from year to year.
2. "Indiana 4-H Foundation Scholarships": Several scholarships are available for active 4-H members interested in studying agriculture.
3. "Indiana Horticultural Society's Charles and Ruth Ley Student Scholarship": Specifically for Indiana students studying horticulture or related fields, with varying amounts awarded.
4. "National FFA Scholarships": On a national level, the National FFA Organization offers a wide range of scholarships for students studying agriculture, including specific ones for those from Indiana.
5. "Farm Credit Mid-America Scholarships": Open not only to Indiana residents but also those from Ohio, Kentucky, and Tennessee. Applicants must be pursuing a degree in agriculture.
6. "American Soybean Association Scholarships": For students pursuing any degree related to the soybean industry, including agriculture.
It's always important to review the specific eligibility criteria for each scholarship and to make sure to complete all the necessary requirements by the deadline stated.
