Agriculture companies have partnered with one of the biggest student led organization to provide students with the resources to continue their education in the agriculture industry. Students studying agriculture have a chance to win a $2,500 scholarship and a donation to the charity of their choice through the 2022 Accelerating a Generation Syngenta Scholarship Program.
Through the scholarship program, which is run by the National FFA organization, Syngenta will give a total of six scholarships to college students from across the country who are pursuing an education in agricultural or farm studies. The objective of the scholarships is to help advance those winners’ knowledge of the industry.
“Making sure students feel supported is the first and most important step in ensuring a strong future in our agricultural community, and this program does just that,” says Linda Arnold Whaley, head of marketing communications for Syngenta Seeds. “Our scholarship is the perfect tool for empowering students.”
The application period runs until January 11, 2022. Applicants must be U.S. residents and those in higher-education institutes must be enrolled as of fall 2021 in an accredited agriculture program at a land-grant university. FFA membership is not required for this scholarship. For the full listing of scholarship recipients, please visit the FFA scholarship webpage and choose the listing noted towards the top of the page.
Along with the scholarship money, each winner designates an agriculture-related non-profit organization to receive a $500 donation from Syngenta.
“Every year we are honored to receive applications from some of the best and brightest students across the country, and I anticipate this year will be the same,” says Syngenta marketing communications lead Pam Caraway.
