High school seniors from Madera, Fresno, Tulare, Kings and Kern counties are encouraged to apply by January 17, 2014 to be considered. Two $10,000 scholarships will be awarded to students who attend a four-year university to major in an agricultural field. The scholarships will be disbursed over four years at $2,500 per year.
To be considered for the scholarship, students must submit two letters of recommendation; one copy of their high school transcripts; ACT or SAT scores and be graduating from high school during the 2013-2014 school year.
"We are excited to continue our partnership with E.M. Tharp to provide college scholarships to students pursuing agriculture degrees," said Jerry Sinift, CEO, International Agri-Center.
