Queenstown, Maryland (October 17, 2022) – The Maryland Grain Producers Association (MGPA) is providing three different opportunities with seven scholarships, totaling $15,000. The three different opportunities are now open and broken down below:
- Three $3,000 scholarships to MGPA members studying for a 2 or 4-year degree.
- Two $2,000 scholarships to MGPA members studying for a 2 or 4-year degree.
- Two $1,000 scholarships for non-MGPA members studying agriculture in a 2 or 4-year program.
Scholarships are funded by the Maryland Grain Checkoff program and approved by the Utilization Board each year. “We value our grain members and adding the Grain Member Scholarship offers another member benefit for our producer families.” Says MGPA President, Melvin Baile Jr. “The board also recognizes and accepts those interested in agriculture but didn’t have the opportunity to be raised on a grain farm, with the Grain Production Scholarship.”
Applications for the three different scholarships are available online and are due January 31st. Those who apply for the Maryland Grain Honoree Scholarship are also eligible for the National Corn Growers Scholarship. For more information, visit marylandgrain.org.
