In an effort to support future leaders of the dairy industry, NMPF is accepting applications for its 2014 scholarship program.

Each year, NMPF allocates monies toward scholarships for the purpose of supporting graduate students actively pursuing dairy-related fields of research that will directly benefit milk marketing cooperatives and the U.S. dairy industry at large. In past years, the average scholarship awarded has been $6,000.

  • Agriculture Communications
  • Animal Health
  • Animal and/or Human Nutrition
  • Bovine Genetics
  • Dairy Products Processing
  • Dairy Science
  • Economics
  • Environmental Science
  • Food Science

  • Herd Management
  • Marketing and Price Analysis

Completed applications must be received by NMPF no later than April 4, 2014. Applications are available on the NMPF website.
