Requirements include an essay with a maximum of 300 words on the applicant’s positive impact in their community and an essay with a maximum of 500 words on the applicant’s passion for agriculture and their plan to contribute to the industry in the future. Winners are chosen by Helena location management across the region.
Applications for the Homegrown Scholarship will be available again in early 2025 through school guidance counselors, ag teachers and local FFA chapters in participating states and counties.
