MFU scholarship application window open through April 3

Montana Farmers Union Foundation is pleased to again offer scholarships, with applications now open through April 3. 

“With education being a founding pillar of Montana Farmers Union, these scholarships help further the mission of our Foundation by supporting the next generation of Montana’s agricultural producers, leaders, and changemakers,” MFU’s Executive Director Rachel Prevost said. “Investing in the next generation will help us continue to build strong rural communities and ensure the future of family farm agriculture.” 

The scholarships are one of the ways MFU supports family farmers and ranchers through education, with the grassroots organization awarding $15,000 in scholarships in 2025 alone. Scholarships available this year include the Bud Daniels Memorial Scholarship ($1,000), the John Korsbeck Memorial Scholarship ($1,000), and the Cascade County-wide Farmers Union Local ($1,000) Chouteau County Farmers Union Local ($500), Montana Farmers Union Scholarships ($1,000), and Flathead County-wide Farmers Union Local ($500) scholarships.  

High school seniors, current college students, and non-traditional students are encouraged to apply by April 3. Applicants must be MFU members; Montana FFA and 4-H members receive free MFU memberships upon request. MFU members also are eligible for several National Farmers Union scholarships.
