Dairy West awards college and trade-school scholarships to immediate family members -- children, grandchildren, or spouses -- of dairy farm permit holders and dairy farm employees across its Idaho and Utah region. Graduating high school seniors apply with a transcript, two signed letters of recommendation, and short essays on their passion, accomplishments, and goals; a committee of dairy farmers scores blind applications and the top 24 across the region receive awards. You can study any major, agricultural or not, and each student can win the scholarship up to twice in different years.
DemographicsApplicant must be an immediate family member (child, grandchild, or spouse) of a Dairy West region dairy farm permit holder or current dairy farm employee; no cost to apply.
Amounts aren't published; 24 students across the Dairy West region are selected each cycle.
