Dairy farmers not only produce a nutritious food source for the world but play a vital role in helping their local communities thrive. The Dairy MAX scholarship program is a way of supporting dairy farm families while investing in the future of dairy. This spring, Dairy MAX will award three $2,500 academic scholarships to students with dairy roots.
“Dairy MAX’s commitment to giving over $82,500 in scholarships for the last 16 years to dairy farm families sets this scholarship apart,” said Todd Green, Dairy MAX’s vice president of industry image and relations. This scholarship is a way to help students committed to the future of agriculture and strengthens relationships with future industry leaders.”
To be eligible for the Dairy MAX scholarship, students must reside in the Dairy MAX region, be a graduating high school senior or undergraduate student currently enrolled in college and be a child of a dairy farmer, child of a dairy farm employee, or an FFA or 4-H dairy show participant.
“The future of our industry is bright, and we are pleased to support these students with big plans for the dairy industry to ensure growth and success,” said Green.
Investing in the recipients’ education propels dairy to feed the world while nourishing communities. The 2023 scholarship applications are now open and will close on March 31, 2023. For a full list of eligibility requirements and information about applying, visit the website here.
