Applicants must be an incoming freshman majoring in agriculture, agribusiness, or a closely related field. Priority will be given to students from Cass, Morgan, Stark and Henry counties. 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.
