CARGILL FOUNDATION SPONSORS SCHOLARSHIPS FOR FARM FAMILIES

The Cargil Foundation will sponsor $1,000 scholarships for 250 high school seniors from farm families.

The program is open to all high school seniors who will graduate in the spring.

The seniors must come from families that derive at least half of their income from farming. Scholarship candidates must enroll full time next fall at an accredited two- or four-year college, university or vocational-technical school.

The national FFA selects the scholarship winners, but applicants do not have to be members of FFA.
