These scholarships are available to all students (both high school and college) who are planning to attend an institution of higher education in the 2010-2011 school year. Priority will be given to students enrolling in an agricultural field of study and students who have not received one of these scholarships in the past. Eligibility requirements are delineated in each application.

DEADLINE for Canyon County Farm Bureau Scholarship and the Canyon Agricultural Foundation for Education Scholarships is March 15, 2010. Incomplete or late applications will not be considered.
