A major scholarship honoring former Texas Farm Bureau (TFB) President S.M. True has been announced by the state’s largest farm organization.
The TFB board of directors has established the $20,000 S.M. True Jr. Agricultural Scholar Award to honor his commitment and dedication to Texas agriculture.
The scholarship will be presented annually 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.
