Imagine Your Future in Agriculture
Established in 1999 by the Monsanto Company, the Commitment to Agriculture Scholarship has awarded more than $1.5 million to over 800 students in the United States.
In association with the National Association of Farm Broadcasters (NAFB), Monsanto continues to recognize outstanding students who have long-term career interests in agriculture by supporting their college education. NAFB shares Monsanto's desire to support farm families and is committed to promoting the availability of these scholarships, as well as recognizing the outstanding students who win each year.
Open to high school seniors across the U.S, the scholarship program awards one-time gifts of $1500 to 100 students annually. To qualify, a high school senior from a farm family must have an above-average academic record and plan to enroll as a full-time student in an agriculture-related academic major at an accredited school.
Applicants are evaluated on their high school records, standardized test results, extracurricular activities and personal application essays. An independent committee, administered by the National FFA Organization, chooses the winners. Applications are not limited to FFA members; anyone who meets the qualifications may apply.
