Undergraduate Agricultural

Education Scholarship

Apply

The purpose of the MAELC Undergraduate Agricultural Education scholarship program is to award scholarships to undergraduate students studying Agricultural Education with the intent of becoming a licensed agriculture teacher. With a shortage of high school agriculture teachers, there is a tremendous need in Minnesota and nationally for professionals trained in Agricultural Education. This scholarship program is currently closed. Check back in September, 2026!

Questions can be directed to Kari Schwab, MAELC Program Coordinator, at opdah012@umn.edu or at (612) 624-6256.
