There will be two $1,000 scholarships awarded to young women who will begin their first or second year of college studies in 2022.
Women Involved in Farm Economics (WIFE), and the Foundation for Agricultural Education and Development (FAED), are offering the national Marilyn Spiker/Sheila Massey Memorial scholarships.
The student must be a female enrolling in an agricultural-related field. Examples are Agronomy, Agricultural Economics, Agricultural Engineering, Veterinary Medicine, Extension Education, or a related field.
Applications can be obtained by contacting the state WIFE scholarship chairman, Phyllis Howatt of Langdon, N.D. Contact her at 701-256-2151 or [email protected] for the forms, or if you have any questions. The student must include two letters of recommendation, plus a current photo with the application. The applications must be returned by March 15, 2022.
Special consideration will be given to an applicant who is a member, or the daughter, granddaughter, sister, or niece of a member of FAED and/or WIFE, provided her grades and qualifications equal or exceed those of other applicants. Contact Marlene Kouba at 701-563-4560 on how to become a WIFE member.
One winner will be selected for North Dakota and her application will be forwarded to the national scholarship chairman in Nebraska whose committee will select the final two winners. The national winners will be announced on or before May 1, 2022.
North Dakota has had numerous past national winners who were from Elgin, Belfield, Richardton, Osnabrock, Langdon, Forbes, Carrington, Rolla and Hebron.
WIFE is a grassroots organization committed to improving profitability to production agriculture.
