SCHOLARSHIPS
SUPPORTING AG STUDENTS AND CURRICULUM AT COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES
The CHS Foundation cultivates opportunity through university partnerships that benefit students studying in the field of agriculture with program support, mini-grants and scholarships.
More than 225 scholarships are awarded annually to college students enrolled in an agricultural-related program at partnering two- and four-year colleges and universities. Mini-grants are awarded to agriculture-focused college clubs for innovative academic and leadership development.
All scholarships and mini-grants are offered exclusively through our 24 partner colleges and universities listed below. Interested students or college clubs should contact their college of ag office to apply, since application and award timelines vary.
