ASA is looking for high school seniors interested in pursuing agriculture in college—and there’s still time to get in your application.
The Secure Optimal Yield (SOY) Scholarship is a $5,000 one-time scholarship award presented to a high school senior who plans to pursue agriculture as an area of study at any accredited college or university in the 2015-16 academic year. The scholarship is managed by the American Soybean Association and is made possible through a grant by BASF Corporation. Interested candidates may apply online Sept. 20 through Nov. 20, 2014.
The scholarship is presented in $2,500 increments per semester. The student must be a child or grandchild of a current ASA member, maintain successful academic progress and be in good standing with the college or university to receive the full amount of the scholarship.
Final selection will be made the first week of December during the ASA Board meeting. The student will be notified prior to an official announcement made during Commodity Classic in Phoenix, Ariz. on Feb. 27, 2015.
BASF sponsors the winner and one parent to attend Commodity Classic for two days to participate and receive special recognition at the ASA Awards Banquet.
