North Dakota Farm Bureau accepting applications for scholarships

BISMARCK— North Dakota Farm Bureau has announced the availability of several $1,000 scholarships for high school students, undergraduates and those pursuing studies in agriculture.

NDFB will be granting scholarships in five categories, including a scholarship for college students pursuing an agriculture-related degree, an NDFB family member scholarship, one for high school seniors who will be enrolled in any ag-related post-secondary school, and the Becki Palmer Scholarship which recognizes academic achievement as well as leadership skills of high school seniors.

The newest scholarship is available for high school seniors. The NDFB Student Volunteer Scholarship is for $2,500 and will be granted to a student who volunteers time to serve the community.

These scholarships are made possible through contributions received by the NDFB Foundation. A significant portion of the funds for this year’s scholarships was generated through a live auction held at the NDFB Annual Meeting in November, where over $18,000 was raised.
