Kalamazoo County FB Scholarships
Scholarship Sponsored by Kalamazoo County Farm Bureau
Below is a clearer, teacher-style version of the scholarship information. I’ve organized it into an easy checklist so students know exactly what’s required and when the award is made.
Overview / Selection
- A committee appointed by the Kalamazoo County Farm Bureau Board of Directors will select the scholarship recipient.
- Award disbursement: funds are released after the recipient completes their first semester of post‑secondary study and earns a semester GPA of 2.5 or higher (on a 4.0 scale).
What to submit (required)
1. Letter of recommendation
- From your high school principal or senior counselor.
2. Official high school transcript
- Must accompany the recommendation letter.
3. Resume (maximum two pages)
- Include work and volunteer experience and involvement in community, school, FFA, 4‑H, sports, fine arts, church, etc.
- List awards and honors.
4. Essay (1 to 2 pages)
- Topics to address: family background, career plans and goals, why you want to pursue that career, reasons for requesting this scholarship, and any specific circumstances you want the committee to consider.
Eligibility
- Relationship to Farm Bureau: You must be a member of the Kalamazoo County Farm Bureau, the child of a member, or under the guardianship of a member.
- Academic status: You must be a high school senior or a high school graduate who has been accepted by or is attending a post‑secondary institution.
- Field of study: Applicants must be pursuing a degree in agriculture or enrolled in a two‑year agricultural program.
- Financial need: Not required.
- Reapplying: The scholarship is usually awarded once, but applicants may reapply in later years.
- Compliance: Applicants must meet all provisions listed on the application.
Tips from a teacher
- Follow the page limits and include all requested documents—an incomplete file weakens your application.
- Use your essay to tell a clear story: what you want to do, why it matters to you, and how this scholarship will help.
- Ask your recommender well in advance and give them your resume and essay to inform their letter.
If you want, I can help you turn this into a checklist you can print or use to track your application materials.
