Kentucky Farm Bureau Education Foundation Scholarship


Name: Kentucky Farm Bureau Education Foundation Scholarship Program

Award Amount: $1,000 – $4,000

Information and Eligibility:
The Kentucky Farm Bureau Education Foundation (KFB Education Foundation) provides a wide range of college and technical-school scholarships to support children of Kentucky Farm Bureau members. These scholarships are intended to help high school seniors and college students pay for tuition, books, housing, and related educational expenses, especially those from farming families or rural backgrounds. The Foundation assists with both four-year and vocational/technical education, reflecting its commitment to promoting educational opportunities across diverse fields, including agriculture, business, trades, and more.

Each year, the Foundation — in partnership with county Farm Bureaus — awards hundreds of scholarships across multiple categories. Recent scholarship totals have exceeded \$800,000 in a single year, with over 600 students receiving awards statewide.

Scholarship tracks vary; some are targeted to students entering agriculture or related fields, while others are open to any major. There are also awards for proprietary/trade school students. The program supports both incoming freshmen (high-school seniors) and continuing college students, helping many from farm families or rural areas access higher education.

Eligibility Requirements:

  • Applicant must be a child (or dependent) of a Kentucky Farm Bureau member in good standing (or meet county-level member requirements)
  • For state-level scholarships: Must be a high-school senior or beginning college student (freshman) who graduates the same year they apply, or meet criteria specified for non-traditional or continuing students
  • For some scholarships: parent(s)/guardian(s) may need to be actively engaged in farming or agriculture (especially for agriculture-specific awards)
  • For non-traditional or continuing-student grants: must meet additional scholarship-specific eligibility requirements (as defined in the application)

Application Requirements:

  • Complete and submit the official KFB Education Foundation scholarship application (downloadable from their website)
  • Provide official high school transcript (for seniors) or college transcript (for continuing students), showing required GPA or academic standing where specified
  • If required by the scholarship track: demonstrate membership status, parental membership, or involvement in farming/agriculture (for agriculture-specific scholarships)
  • Enroll in an accredited college, university, or vocational/technical school and provide proof of admission/enrollment when requested

Selection Criteria:

  • Academic performance and merit (GPA, coursework) where applicable
  • Membership status with Kentucky Farm Bureau (or qualifying county Farm Bureau)
  • Field of study or career interest (especially for agriculture-related scholarships) when relevant
  • Financial need or background, in scholarships where indicated

Additional Details:

  • A wide range of scholarships under the KFB Education Foundation umbrella: agriculture-specific awards, general scholarships, proprietary school scholarships, county-level awards, and continuing-student awards.
  • Payments are typically made directly to the educational institution for tuition, fees, or other school-related costs.
  • Applicants from any field of study may qualify — not limited solely to agriculture — depending on the specific award track.
  • The program has a long history: since its establishment in the early 1950s, the Foundation has awarded millions in scholarships across Kentucky.
