Scholarships

Through the support of alumni, industry and friends Dairy Science students are supported through many scholarships. A total of almost $627,000 dollars in scholarships and awards are available to Dairy Science students, including 14 freshmen scholarships. A list of all Dairy Science scholarships is provided below. Students may apply for scholarships in early spring. Procedures for applications will be announced and a designated ag-bio scholarship form should be submitted. This application will serve as an application for Dairy Science scholarships as well as scholarships from the College of Agriculture and Biological Sciences. Awards are made at the Dairy Science scholarship in April. The date of the next banquet can be found in the calendar on the home page.

Freshmen applicants may apply for scholarships along with their application for admission. To be considered for a Dairy Science scholarship a Dairy Science major must be declared in the application.

Other scholarship opportunities are also available to Dairy Science students, e.g., from the National Dairy Promotion and Research Board, FFA, Duane Rath Foundation and others. These will be announced as they become available.
