High school students pursuing careers in the agriculture industry have the opportunity to earn one of 25 $1,000 scholarships thanks to a new program offered by the CHS Foundation.
The new CHS Foundation High School Scholarship Program will recognize the nation’s top youth in agriculture and foster the development of future leaders in rural America, agribusiness and production agriculture.
Scholarships will be awarded to graduating high school seniors who plan to study an agricultural-related major at a two- or four-year college.
Students must apply before May 1. An independent, external committee will select scholarship recipients based on essays focusing on leadership and global agriculture; transcripts; and reference letters. Students should visit www.chsfoundation.org for application forms and full details.
As a part of the University Partnership Program, the CHS Foundation also offers scholarships for students attending universities and two-year colleges.
The CHS Foundation is the major giving entity of CHS Inc. (www.chsinc.com), a diversified energy, grains and foods Fortune 200 company committed to providing the essential resources that enrich lives. With file information from dosmundos.com
