Description

The Charles B. Shuman Graduate Scholarship was established to recognize Mr. Shuman's contributions, and reflect his values. Applicants must be an Illinois Farm Bureau member, spouse or child of the member. They must be a Masters or PhD student whose research topic is related to agriculture policy, agriculture marketing infrastructure, trade of agricultural products, seed technology issues or agriculture production/management practices. The IAA Foundation enhances the future of agriculture by offering college scholarships to Illinois farm families, Illinois Farm Bureau members, spouses, and their children who major in agriculture-related courses of study. The IAA Foundation is pleased to administer scholarships on behalf of families and agriculture partners who wish to support students and help assure a well-qualified, professional agricultural workforce in Illinois. Applicants may be previous recipients of an IAA Foundation scholarship. In addition to individual scholarship eligibility guidelines, selection of recipients is based on activities and involvement, financial plan, essay response, personal statements and in some cases, academic performance.
