The IAA Foundation is offering over $210,000 in scholarships for agriculture students this year. Eligible applicants include agriculture students, as well as members of the Illinois Farm Bureau, their spouses, and children. A total of 120 college scholarships, with amounts ranging from $1,000 to $7,500, will be awarded for the 2025-26 academic year, amounting to $210,251 in total.
Applications are now open for various financial awards, including the newly established Charles B. Shuman Memorial Scholarship and the William and Carol Keppy Memorial Scholarship. Furthermore, the IAA Foundation provides scholarships on behalf of Prairie Farms Dairy, along with several family scholarships created in honor of loved ones.
Scholarship recipients are selected based on their involvement in extracurricular activities, community service, academic achievements, leadership experiences, and a written essay. Previous IAA Foundation scholarship winners may reapply, provided their individual scholarship permits.
