The Minnesota Forage and Grassland Council is offering a $500 post-secondary scholarship to be awarded in Spring 2003.
The purpose of the MFGC Member Scholarship Program is to provide scholarships to those in the immediate family of MFGC members, who pursue an agriculture related post-high school educational experience.
Application and Eligibility
- Applications must be submitted no later than March 1, 2003.
