I have a question. Do you want us to write a total of 2 pages all together or do you want us to write one essay on school, community, FFA involvement that is an unlimited length and then another essay on showing experience and future plans that has a 2 page limit? I just wanted to make sure I understood this correctly.

Thanks for making theses awards available again.  Will you award any in Canada if there are qualified applicants?

 

[shortdawg]

Thanks for investing in the lives of our young people !

 

[jsull]

We are very glad to be able to give back to the youth that has been so good to us.  Yes, Canadian applicants are encouraged and welcome.  We are looking for one sheet that lists all of your involvement in school, community and 4-H or FFA.  Then, on another sheet,  an essay no longer than 2 pages describing your involvement and experience in the livestock showing and/or raising along with your future goals and career plans.  Thank you, Dede.

Quick Question- Is a Ag/ Animal Production Major REQUIRED to apply for the scholarship?  I know of someone who is very passionate and involved in cattle industry but not going to school for Agriculture... 

 

[jsull]

An Ag major is not a requirement.

The website says the deadline is March 15th. Which is correct? Thanks for supporting our young showpeople in furthering their education.

it says 2 pages max for the essay, is there a specific spacing preferred? or would it be best to stick to double spacing just to be safe?

Reminds of my time in college jacking with the margins, font, size, and spacing to get that 6 page paper into 8.
