Corn Growers, BASF Agriculture Scholarship Program Applications Available (9-3-09)

Sept 3: The National Corn Growers Association and chemical company BASF Corporation will again award five $1,000 scholarships to undergraduate and graduate students pursuing a degree in an agriculture-related field.

“Fighting the ‘brain drain’ that affects many of our rural communities, and encouraging access to agriculture education are two key goals for NCGA,” said Tim Dolan, chairman of NCGA’s Grower Services Action Team and a farmer from Winthrop, Minn. “This program is an important component of NCGA’s commitment to education and the future of our communities.”

Applicants for the NCGA Academic Excellence in Agriculture Scholarship Program must be entering at least their second undergraduate year or any year of graduate study, and they or a parent or legal guardian must be an NCGA member. Scholarship applications must be postmarked on or before Dec. 11.

Scholarship recipients will be selected in early 2010. Recipients and a parent or guardian will enjoy travel and lodging to attend a portion of the 2010 Commodity Classic in Anaheim, Calif., to be recognized at the NCGA Awards Banquet and have the opportunity to learn more about modern agriculture.

This is the third year for the partnership between BASF and NCGA. Complete rules and an application packet are available here: http://ncga.com/college-scholarship-program
