Alsum Farms & Produce has launched a new high school senior scholarship program. Alsum will award 10 $1,000 scholarships to deserving students to further their education and invest in the future of agriculture.
Graduating high school seniors with an agriculture or rural background, or plan to major in an agriculture-related field at a community college, university, or technical school are encouraged to apply between now and March 31.
Each scholarship recipient will receive $1,000 for educational tuition expenses. Qualified applicants must be graduating seniors who reside in Alsum Farms & Produce growing or packing region. Recipients will be selected based on a combination of academic achievement; agricultural, community, and youth organization involvement; and essays.
“In our inaugural year of the Alsum Farms & Produce scholarship program, we are proud to be able to invest in future leaders in agriculture and our rural communities,” says CEO and President Larry Alsum. “We believe in supporting these young adults and are optimistic these students will seek careers in Wisconsin agriculture and the businesses that support agriculture.”
