South Carolina Farm Bureau Youth Ambassador Scholarship

South Carolina Farm Bureau's Youth Ambassador Scholarship Program, run by its Women's Leadership Committee, selects one male and one female Youth Ambassador each year through a statewide competition: a scored application, narrative, and 500-word essay (built around an annual agricultural theme and requiring an interview with a farmer or agribusiness professional), followed by in-person interviews and a two-minute oral presentation at the SCFB Annual Meeting in December. Each Ambassador receives a $2,000 scholarship, paid to their school on certification of enrollment after completing a year of service representing SCFB at events statewide, plus advocacy and leadership training paid for by SCFB. Applicants must be unmarried, ages 17-21, and reside in a South Carolina Farm Bureau member household; children/stepchildren of SCFB Federation or affiliate employees and past state winners are not eligible.
