National FFA, Farm Bureau scholarships due Feb. 15

February 3, 2006 - Posted in Scholarship

Dodge Trucks, American Farm Bureau Federation and the National FFA Organization are offering collegiate scholarships to FFA members across the country.

Dodge has been a sponsor of the National FFA Scholarship Program since its inception. Farm Bureau joined FFA and Dodge as a partner in 1999.

Last year Montana Farm Bureau member Samuel Jensen of Circle, Mont., was one of the recipients awarded the scholarship.

The scholarship program is a cooperative effort between Dodge, Farm Bureau and the National FFA Organization. To apply, a student must be an FFA member and a member of a Farm Bureau family. Students must complete the official National FFA Scholarship Application, including the parent financial analysis section, as financial need will be considered. All applications must be postmarked by Feb. 15. Scholarships are available to FFA members in all 50 states. For more information, including application details, go to the Montana Farm Bureau Web site, http://www.mfbf.org

Dodge scholarships are designed to recognize FFA members from Farm Bureau families throughout the U.S. for their supervised agricultural experience programs (SAEs), academic achievements and other school accomplishments. Dodge Trucks sponsors these scholarships as a special project of the National FFA Foundation. Dodge has supported the FFA for over 50 years. Additionally, Dodge is the leading sponsor of the American Farm Bureau Federation’s “Young Farmer and Ranchers” competitions. Each program is targeted to give young people a helping hand in agriculture-related careers.
