California Farm Bureau Scholarship Foundation

The California Farm Bureau Scholarship Foundation was organized to give aid to students with a desire to pursue a career in the agricultural industry.  Scholarships are awarded annually based upon academic achievement, career goals, extracurricular activities, determination, leadership skills and a commitment to study agriculture.

California Farm Bureau currently utilizes one application for all of the scholarships listed online.
