GreenStone Farm Credit Services believes investing in the next generation of agriculture is a crucial step towards creating a sustainable future for our industry. This year, GreenStone is proud to once again be awarding thousands of dollars in scholarships to incoming and current college students pursuing careers in agriculture, timber and natural resources.
Since 2010, GreenStone has awarded nearly $500,000 in scholarships to undergraduate students.
Scholarship Opportunities:
- GreenStone will award up to $40,000 in scholarships to incoming college freshmen in the amount of $2,000 each to selected students attending a four-year college program and $1,000 each to selected students attending a two-year college program.
- The Dave Armstrong Scholarship Program, named after GreenStone’s former CEO, awards four current college students with a scholarship in the amount of $5,000 each.
Scholarship applicants must reside within GreenStone’s territory, which includes Michigan and select counties in northeast Wisconsin. Applicants must also plan to study in an agricultural-related field, including timber and natural resources, achieve the required academic success and demonstrate leadership in their school, community and agricultural activities.
The deadline to apply for these scholarship opportunities is February 28. Applications and more information can be found at www.GreenStoneFCS.com/scholarships.
