Iowa Corn has chosen 16 students for the Iowa Corn Future of Agriculture Scholarship program. Each student will receive $1,000 for the 2020-21 school year.

The scholarships go to qualified students enrolled at an accredited U.S. two-year or four-year junior college or university, or graduate school, in a program of study to equip them to contribute to Iowa’s agriculture industry. The program is sponsored by the Iowa Corn Growers Association and the Iowa Corn Promotion Board. 

“Developing future leaders in the agriculture industry is important to Iowa Corn,” says Roger Wuthrich, a farmer from Bloomfield and chair of the Iowa Corn Grassroots Network’s membership and checkoff committee. “Our industry’s success depends on our ability to offer relevant programming, advocacy and services to the new leaders entering Iowa’s agricultural sector. We are excited for the future of agriculture in Iowa with this group of recipients leading the way.” 

Selection committees evaluated applications by their essays, application information, reference letters, current grades and activities. It is a blind selection process by the committee. Students must also be an ICGA member or be a dependent of a member. Each Iowa Corn district field manager has one winner per area.
