Georgia Foundation for Agriculture Scholarship

The Georgia Foundation for Agriculture's scholarship for high school seniors gives ten $3,000 awards each year to Georgia resident graduating seniors who plan to major in agriculture and environmental sciences, family and consumer sciences, or a related agriculture field at a University System of Georgia school, Berry College, Emmanuel College, or another accredited Georgia college or university with an agriculture program; the top two applicants receive an additional $1,500 bonus. Selection weighs high school leadership activities, and recipients must maintain a 3.0 GPA in their first semester of college to keep the funds. The program is part of a roughly $30,000-$33,000 annual scholarship budget the foundation awards across several tiers (high school seniors, rising juniors/seniors, and UGA veterinary medicine students). The 2026 cycle closed March 1; the 2027 cycle reopens in November 2026.
