Scholarships

Huron County Farm Bureau is offering scholarship opportunities to students pursuing post-secondary education. The scholarship amount is determined by the number of acceptable qualifying applications.

They must be a full-time enrollee of an accredited two or four-year college, university, or technical school working toward an undergraduate degree. Applicants must show a 2.5 grade point average. 

An Ag-Related Scholarship and a Continuing Education Scholarship are both available. A major in agriculture or a support field is required for both scholarships. Multiple scholarships can be awarded. Eligibility and approval of applicants will be determined at the discretion of the Huron County Board of Trustees or their designee.

The fillable form is available online HERE for the Agricultural Scholarship  and HERE for our Continuing Education Scholarship, or by emailing [email protected]. 

No handwritten forms will be accepted. 

 

Teacher Grants

The Huron County Farm Bureau will sponsor grants from $25 to $250 to teachers from any grade level in a Huron County School. The total amount awarded countywide will be up to $1,250.00.

The grant is for the teaching of agriculturally related subjects. Agriculture is defined as ‘the science, art or occupation concerned with cultivating land, raising crops, and feeding, breeding, and raising livestock; farming, the production of crops, livestock or poultry, or agronomy’. Some sample lesson ideas are technology in agriculture, agriculture safety, maximum farmland usage, and the effects of global warming on crop production. Some suggested uses for the grant money would be books, videos, lab materials, workshops or field trips.

Please see HERE for Teacher Grant applications

 

All applications must be submitted by 11:59 p.m. on March 31, 2024.

Giving farmers a voice
The issue of property taxation remains as one of the biggest challenges our members face today. Ensuring agricultural property is valued for its agricultural potential and not development is critical to the continued success of Ohio agriculture.

Ohio Farm Bureau Health Benefits Plan
The plan we are on is great. It’s comparable to my previous job's plan, and we are a sole proprietor.

Strong communities
I appreciate the benefit of having a strong voice in my corner. The extras that are included in membership are wonderful, but I'm a member because of the positive impact to my local and state agricultural communities.

CAUV: Past, present and future
We work terrifically with the Ashtabula County Farm Bureau, hosting at least one to two outreach town hall events every year to educate new farmers and existing farmers on traditional CAUV and woodlands.

Farm Bureau involvement
Because we are younger farmers just starting out, Farm Bureau has a lot of good opportunities and resources to help us grow in the future.

Select Partner Program
Through the Select Partner program, we became educated in farm insurance and weren't just selling policies. It became more and more clear why farmers need an advocate like Ohio Farm Bureau.

Advocacy
So many of the issues that OFBF and its members are advocating for are important to all Ohioans. I look at OFBF as an agricultural watchdog advocating for farmers and rural communities across Ohio.
