The deadline is fast approaching to apply for a major scholarship honoring former Texas Farm Bureau (TFB) President S.M. True Jr.
The $20,000 S.M. True Jr. Agricultural Scholar Award was established to honor his commitment and dedication to agriculture.
The scholarship will be awarded to one recipient who is classified as a junior and enrolled in a four-year college or university. To receive the full amount, the recipient must continue to major in agriculture and maintain a satisfactory grade point average.
Applicants must be a member of a TFB family with continuous membership for at least three years at the time of application. In addition, a completed application and two letters of recommendation—one from the county Farm Bureau president and one from the dean or head of the agriculture program department of the applicant’s college or university—are required.
Applications are due in the state office April 30.
