Tomorrow's dairy leaders are here today, in 4-H clubs, FFA chapters,
college classrooms and on dairy farms across the country. National
Dairy Shrine's task is to encourage, stimulate and inspire them.
Since its inception, National Dairy Shrine has recognized the
importance of laying a foundation for the future, and has constantly
expanded its youth programs to capture and challenge the interest of
outstanding dairy youth in our industry. Dairy students, our future
leaders, are eligible to apply for these National Dairy Shrine
recognition programs and scholarships with awards totaling over
$40,000.
All National Dairy Shrine scholarships and student awards are for
only U.S. students attending schools, colleges or universities in
the United States and majoring in dairy industry or other
agricultural related fields. The Klussendorf/McKown scholarships are
also available to students from Canadian universities.
Listed below are qualification details for you to review before you apply for any scholarship.
Application Period: Applications are accepted from March 1st through May 1st
Please note that a student may only win the same award once! Previous non-winners if they still qualify are welcome to reapply the next year.
