The National Farm and Ranch Business Management Education Association and the National Association of Farm Business Analysis Specialists, with major funding from CHS, Inc., are offering scholarships to individuals who are considering a career in farm business management education. The scholarship is designed to encourage attendance at our national conference being held from Sunday, June 11th through Thursday, June 15th, 2017 in Des Moines, Iowa.
We are offering a limited number of scholarships which will cover expenses for travel, rooms, and conference registration (includes most of the meals). College students or recent graduates who may consider a career in farm business management education, and those already working in an agricultural field who might consider a career move to teaching farm business management are encouraged to apply for the scholarship. For more information, contact tina.lebrun@southcentral.edu or call Tina at 507-327-3732.
Attending the conference gives the participant an opportunity to learn about working with farmers in farm business management education and network with those already in the field. It is a great opportunity to gain understanding, learn about an exciting field and build a resumé all at the same time. CHS and our members recognize there will continue to be a strong need for new professionals pursuing careers in farm business management education. To apply, download and fill out the 2017 CHS Conference Scholarship Application. The application due date is April 21, 2017 Application deadline has been extended to May 11, 2017.
