Midwest Dairy Announces Call for Iowa Scholarship Applications
Midwest Dairy offers Iowa division scholarships to young dairy leaders
Ankeny, Iowa – Midwest Dairy announced they are now seeking students to apply for the Iowa division scholarship for the 2023-2024 academic school year. High school and undergraduate students accepted or enrolled into an accredited college are invited to apply for this scholarship until March 13th. Students can apply by visiting Midwest Dairy’s website under Young Dairy Leaders -> Scholarships.
Recipients of the Iowa Division Scholarship will receive $1,000 to further their educational endeavors. Applicants will be evaluated on contributions to and involvement in the dairy industry, leadership, career plans, and academic standing.
“Recognizing young dairy leaders who are committed to building up the dairy industry and carrying it forward into the future is important to Midwest Dairy as we continue to invest in creating dairy advocates as well as developing the next generation of dairy leaders,” said Molly Pelzer, CEO of Midwest Dairy. “It’s a privilege to recognize the achievements of these young leaders with this scholarship program, and we are proud to continue our commitment to the hardworking dairy farm families we represent.”
Last year, 11 students were awarded. In addition to the Iowa division scholarship, Midwest Dairy offers scholarships for young dairy leaders in other states throughout our region. Dairy students are also invited to apply to scholarships from Dairy Management Inc., which offers checkoff-funded scholarships at the national level.
