Heads up all you aspiring cheese makers out there. It’s time to consider applying for the 4th Annual Young Dairy Producer Educational Scholarship.

The Southwestern Wisconsin Cheese Makers Association (SWCMA) is announcing their 4th Annual Young Dairy Producer Educational Scholarship, an individual scholarship to allow a young dairy producer to pursue dairy (milk) production educational opportunities. This year’s scholarship amount has been increased to $2,000.00 to further encourage young dairy producers to continue in the dairy industry, and help maintain the supply of milk to area cheese plants. All students whose Wisconsin-based dairy farm markets their milk to any SWCMA member plant* [see member list included on the application form] is eligible to apply. Family members or farm employee family members are both eligible to apply for this scholarship.
