Applications are now available for students wishing to apply for a $1,000 college scholarship from the South Dakota Farm Bureau (SDFB). To be eligible, the applicant must be a high school senior or college student whose parents or guardians are current members of the South Dakota Farm Bureau, and have been for at least two years.
Application forms and full details are available on the SDFB website through a link on the homepage or under the “Get Involved” menu heading. Applications are being accepted now through the deadline of March 15. Winners will be announced in May.
“These scholarships are a wonderful way for Farm Bureau to give back to our member families who have children entering college or technical school,” commented Krystil Smit, SDFB Executive Director. “We are proud to help support this next generation of leaders.”
The South Dakota Farm Bureau Scholarship Fund was established in 2005 by Richard and Agnes Ekstrum of Kimball, S.D. Richard, who served as South Dakota Farm Bureau’s president from 1975-95, passed away in September at the age of 83. His legacy lives on in the creation of this endowment which has thus far awarded $28,000 in college scholarships to 28 students who are children of SDFB members.
The South Dakota Farm Bureau is the state’s largest agriculture association, representing more than 16,000 farm, ranch and rural families across the state. Learn more at www.sdfbf.org.
