Deadline nears for
Foundation Scholarship

Graduating seniors planning to enter college in Fall 2003, whose families have been Texas Farm Bureau members since at least March 14, 2001, are eligible to apply for the organization's Agriculture Research and Education Foundation Scholarship.

A scholarship in the amount of $1,000 per year, renewable up to four years, will be awarded by May 2003, on the basis of academic achievement, extracurricular activity involvement and other considerations.

The 2003 scholarship recipient will be selected by a committee of college faculty and administrators from Baylor University.

The TFB Agriculture Research and Education Foundation, a charitable organization, was established by board action in response to the Blue Ribbon Goals Report for the purpose of awarding scholarships and agricultural grants for TFB youth.

The Foundation accepts donations of $25, $50, $100 or more, which are tax deductible, from individuals interested in furthering the youth mission. Bequests and insurance proceeds can also assist the Foundation. The number of students receiving financial help from the Foundation will vary according to the generosity and scope of members.

Applications for the scholarship must be postmarked no later than March 14, 2003.

Applications may be sent to: Coordinator, TFB Agriculture Research and Education Foundation, P.O. Box 2689, Waco, TX 76702-2689.
