SCHOLARSHIPS
The Montana Seed Trade Association is proud to support education for the next generation. That’s why each year, MSTA awards two scholarships to dependents of MSTA members, employees, employee’s dependents, customers, or dependents of customers.
Since 2015, the Montana Seed Trade Association has awarded nearly $45,000 in scholarships to worthy students across the United States. The majority of these scholarships have been for schools within the state of Montana. Many recipients have attended the Montana State University College of Agriculture.
Priority will be given to students enrolled in an agricultural-related field, however this is not a requirement.
Applications are due by June 1st.
