Agriculture scholarship for Imperial County students

Imperial County announces the availability of Agriculture Benefit Program funding to match qualifying scholarships awarded by other organizations in a total amount not to exceed $3,000 per student per academic year.
To qualify for the scholarship, you must be an Imperial County student, and the organization’s scholarship requirements must show that it is degree specific for agriculture or closely related fields.
For the program, the County will not be accepting or reviewing applications from students, but working with organizations to match qualifying scholarships.

To participate, organizations should provide the following as soon as possible.
-Name of your organization, contact name(s), and contact information (include email)
-Information on the scholarship(s) awarded by your organization that may qualify for a match including each scholarship’s requirements
-The approximate date(s) that you will determine your scholarship recipients
-The names of the award recipients, as soon as they become available.

Submit your list of recipients and award amounts for each qualifying scholarship by May 15. The County needs a completed “Student Information Form” from each student. The form needs to be received by June 1.
The student and their family will be invited to attend an award program at a Board Supervisor’s meeting, to be held at the end of June.

If you are not able to meet the deadline, please contact the Agricultural Commissioner’s Office at (442) 265-1500.
