The Fund for Rural America, Compeer Financial’s corporate giving program, is offering 123 scholarships to students this year. Graduating high school seniors with an agriculture or rural background, or those planning to major in an agriculture-related field at a community college, university, or technical school, are encouraged to apply between now and March 15.
Each scholarship recipient will receive $1,500 for educational tuition expenses.
