Name: North Dakota Farm Credit Services Scholarship

Award Amount: Varies per year (typically a few hundred to several thousand dollars)

Information and Eligibility:
The Scholarship offered by Farm Credit Services of Mandan (and other Farm Credit Services branches in North Dakota) supports students with ties to agriculture or agribusiness who are pursuing post-secondary education. The goal is to encourage individuals from rural, farming or ranching backgrounds to further their education and contribute to the agricultural industry in North Dakota. Recipients often include high school seniors planning to enroll in college as well as current college students studying agriculture, agribusiness or related fields.
Eligibility criteria include:

  • Background/Focus: Applicants must come from an active farming or ranching family or plan to pursue a career in agriculture, agribusiness or agriculture-finance related services.
  • Academic Level: High-school seniors entering college and/or full-time college students (entering sophomore year or beyond) majoring in agriculture, agribusiness, finance, or a related discipline.
  • Residency/Service Area: Applicants must be residents of North Dakota (or served by the local Farm Credit branch) and enrolled in a U.S. accredited college or university.

Application Requirements:

  • Completed scholarship application form (available from the Farm Credit Services branch’s website).
  • Official or unofficial transcript from high school (for seniors) or college (for current college students) showing academic performance.
  • Résumé or personal statement describing applicant’s agricultural background, educational and career goals in agriculture/agribusiness, and how the scholarship will support those goals.
  • Some funds may require proof of family involvement in agriculture or farming/ranching operations.

Selection Criteria:

  • Academic achievement, leadership potential and motivation to pursue study in agriculture/agribusiness.
  • Demonstrated commitment to agriculture or agribusiness—through family background, work experience, internships or plans to return to the agricultural sector.
  • Completeness and clarity of application materials and alignment with the scholarship’s purpose.

Additional Details:

  • For example, Farm Credit Services of Mandan lists two scholarship tracks: four $1,000 awards for high school seniors and several $2,000 awards for college students who have completed at least 60 credit hours and are pursuing degrees in agriculture or business-finance related to agriculture.
  • Funds are typically paid directly to the student’s institution or credited toward tuition/fees once enrollment is verified.
  • Award amounts and number of recipients vary year to year based on available funds and applicant pool.
