The National Sorghum Foundation and BASF announce a new joint scholarship program for the 2017-2018 school year.
“We are excited to offer the next generation of sorghum support for their education—both inside the classroom and out in the industry,” Tim Lust, National Sorghum Producers CEO, said in a press release. “Partnering with BASF offers these students the chance to attend the nation’s largest gathering of farmers and learn about the top issues and opportunities in agriculture.”
The scholarships will include an award for tuition, as well as cover recipients’ participation in the 2017 Commodity Classic in San Antonio set for March 2-4, 2017.
Applicants must be the child or grandchild of a National Sorghum Producers member and be pursuing an undergraduate or graduate degree in an agriculturally-related curriculum. Undergraduate applicants must be entering at least their second year of study for the 2017-2018 school year.
Applications are due by Dec. 1, 2016.
