Eligibility. <\/b>Scholarship recipient must be a U.S. military veteran, which may include those currently serving, and must reside in New York. This scholarship is non-transferable to non-veteran family members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overview. <\/b>This scholarship aims to support veterans in attending agricultural training and education that supports their agricultural pursuits. Training and education topics must be relevant to the field of agriculture. Training events may include in-person or virtual events, single-day or multi-day workshops, and conferences. Applicants are encouraged to seek approval for a scholarship as early as possible to facilitate reimbursement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Applying. <\/b>Applications containing partial or inaccurate contact information will not be considered.
