The Delaware Farm Bureau (DEFB) is offering scholarship opportunities for students pursuing higher education in agriculture. These scholarships, ranging from $1,000 to $2,500, are made possible through the efforts of the DEFB Women’s Committee, the Young Farmers & Ranchers (YF&R) Committee, and the three county Farm Bureaus.
Throughout the year, DEFB committees fundraise to support these scholarships. The Women’s Committee designates a portion of the proceeds from its food booth at the Delaware State Fair, while YF&R hosts events such as the annual Strawberry Festival and the Antique Tractor Pull in July.
“It is important for Delaware Farm Bureau to give back to the younger generation,” said YF&R State Chair Will Powers. “These students are the future of agriculture, and we are committed to supporting their education and experiences in the field.”
Scholarship applications are available online at defb.org/about-us/scholarships-and-programs/scholarships/ and must be submitted by Friday, May 2, at 4 p.m.
