Vermont Farm Credit Northeast AgEnhancement Scholarship


Name: Farm Credit Northeast AgEnhancement Program – Vermont Eligibility Region

Award Amount: $500 – $10,000 per award

Information and Eligibility:
The Farm Credit Northeast AgEnhancement Program, operated by Farm Credit East in partnership with CoBank, supports initiatives across agriculture, forestry and commercial fishing in eight Northeastern states—including Vermont. While this is primarily a grants program and not strictly a “student scholarship,” it may offer funding accessible to young farmers or agriculture-students involved in projects that strengthen the region’s ag sector. Eligibility spans Vermont residents whose programs or proposals align with Farm Credit’s mission of expanding rural economic vitality.
Eligibility criteria include:

  • Region: Applicant’s activity must be in one of Farm Credit East’s serviced states—Vermont is included.
  • Focus: Projects must promote agriculture, forestry or fishing (for example: beginning-farmer initiatives, youth leadership in ag, agricultural education, new market development).
  • Target Audience: Though not limited to students, young farmers, ag-industry beginnings, or those in training roles may qualify under the program’s objectives.

Application Requirements:

  • Complete the online application form specified by Farm Credit East for the AgEnhancement Program.
  • Submit a project narrative (1-2 pages) outlining purpose, methodology, timeline and anticipated impact for agriculture/forestry/fishing.
  • Include a budget and explanation of any other matching resources or sponsors.

Selection Criteria:

  • Quality and clarity of the project or initiative proposed, and its potential impact on the regional agriculture ecosystem.
  • Ability of the applicant to execute the project—past experience, partnerships, and sustainability are favourable.
  • Alignment with Farm Credit East’s goals of enabling young-entrant farmers, promoting diversity/innovation and supporting ag business resiliency.

Additional Details:

  • Awards range from $500 up to $10,000 each year.
  • Applications are reviewed in multiple cycles per year; Vermont-based projects are eligible as part of the program’s eight-state region.

Deadline:

  • April
