Grant Overview

Supporting Idaho Farmers' Children in Education

Idaho's agricultural sector is the backbone of its economy, with farming and related industries employing a significant portion of the state's workforce. However, the children of these hardworking farmers and agricultural laborers often face financial barriers when pursuing higher education opportunities outside of their local communities. This annual grant program aims to provide vital support, ensuring that the next generation of Idaho's agricultural leaders can access the educational resources they need.

Eligibility for this grant is limited to residents of Idaho who are the children of individuals employed in the state's farming, ranching, or other agricultural industries. Applicants must have been accepted to or be currently enrolled in an in-person undergraduate or graduate degree program at a university located anywhere in the United States. A minimum GPA of 3.0 is required, along with a demonstrated commitment to their field of study and a clear vision for how they plan to apply their education to benefit Idaho's agricultural community.

By assisting with the living expenses associated with out-of-state study, this grant program helps to alleviate the financial pressures that can prevent talented young Idahoans from farming families from pursuing their academic and professional aspirations. Many rural communities in the state lack access to robust higher education infrastructure, making it challenging for local youth to access the resources they need to develop specialized skills and knowledge.

This initiative recognizes the vital role that Idaho's agricultural sector plays in the state's economy and overall prosperity. By investing in the education of farmers' children, it aims to cultivate a new generation of innovators, leaders, and problem-solvers who can drive sustainable growth and ensure the long-term viability of this essential industry. The program also encourages recipients to maintain strong ties to their agricultural communities, fostering a sense of pride and commitment that can benefit Idaho for years to come.

Unlike some of its neighboring states, Idaho's economy is heavily reliant on its rural, agricultural communities. This grant program represents a targeted effort to support the educational aspirations of the children of these hardworking individuals, helping to secure the future of the state's most vital economic sector.
