TFB Collegiate Scholarships
Mia Balko Student Teaching Scholarship
This scholarship was renamed in honor of the late Mia Balko, who was the director of youth outreach and scholarship coordinator for TFB. Prior to joining TFB, Balko was an agricultural science teacher.
Four senior agricultural education students will receive the Mia Balko Student Teaching Scholarship each semester. The scholarships, valued at $6,000, aim to help students cover expenses during their semester of off-campus student teaching. Students who will be student teaching off-campus in Spring 2025 are encouraged to apply.
Completed applications are due Oct. 30.
S.M. True, Jr. Agricultural Scholar Award
To acknowledge former TFB President S.M. True Jr., a $25,000 scholarship was established for college students enrolled in an undergraduate degree program with at least 60 hours of college credit and declared agriculture as their major.
Four finalists will also be selected and receive a $5,000 scholarship.
To be eligible for the scholarship, students must be a Farm Bureau member-family for at least three years at the time of application. Students are encouraged to apply at the end of their sophomore year for TFB’s most prestigious scholarship.
