The Independent Professional Seed Association is pleased to announce the opening of the scholarship period for the 2017/18 school year. This year, different from past years, the IPSA Board of Directors has raised the scholarship award to $2000.
Both high school seniors and active college students majoring in Agriculture are encouraged to apply. While IPSA will award scholarships based on the number of applicants, awards are given in 3 areas:
Myron "Ted" Asplin Foundation Scholarship - This scholarship was created by the Asplin family of Dassel, MN in memory of Myron "Ted" Asplin. Preference will be given to high school seniors pursuing an ag-related degree.
IPSA Student Recognition Award - The IPSA Student Recognition Award was created in 1997 from funds donated by the Independent Corn Breeders Association. Preference will be given to active college students pursuing ag-related fields.
Buckhorn Scholarship - This scholarship was created by Buckhorn, Inc. to benefit the future of Agriculture. Preference will be given to active college students pursuing ag-related fields.
Selection will be based on a combination of academic achievement, community and agricultural involvement. All applications will be reviewed by the Education Committee and the Board of Directors of the Independent Professional Seed Association. Final candidates will be invited to an online interview and awards given at the 2018 IPSA Annual Conference in Indianapolis, IN.
For any questions regarding the process, please contact the IPSA office via email or telephone.
