Application Deadline: Monday, November 18, 2024
The Farm Foundation Agricultural Scholars program is inviting applications for graduate student scholars working in agricultural economics or related agricultural policy work with a yearlong series of learning experiences focused on gaining a deeper understanding of production agriculture, agribusiness, and government, in hopes of inspiring and training the next generation of agricultural economists interested agricultural policy, commodity market analysis, agricultural finance, and other applied fields of economics.
The award covers all meeting registration costs, travel, hotel accommodations, and materials. If a selected student from a nominating university is unable to fully participate in the program for any reason, another student will be selected to take their place. Attendance and participation in all the Scholar events enhance the value of the programming for everyone.
Eligibility
- Students must be a US citizen enrolled in a graduate degree program related to applied sciences, such as agricultural economics, at an accredited land grant college or university
- Students must be nominated by their college dean or department head.
