The National Dairy Promotion and Research Board (NDB) is offering 20 Undergraduate Scholarship for students with a dairy-related discipline. Applications will be accepted through April 15. The college scholarships are awarded by America’s dairy producers, through the National Dairy Promotion and Research Board (NDB). NDB funds in part, Dairy Management Inc., which manages the national dairy checkoff program.
Scholarships are awarded based on academic achievement, an interest in a career in a dairy-related discipline, plus demonstrated leadership, initiative and integrity. Candidates are expected to complete an application form, submit a transcript of all college courses, and write a short statement describing their career aspirations, dairy-related activities and work experiences. The application information is evaluated by the NDB scholarship committee composed of an external review panel and at least two board members. The recommendations of the scholarship committee are summarized by NDB staff and the scholarships are then awarded.
Scholarship criteria include: Academic achievement; A career interest in a dairy-related discipline; Demonstrated leadership, initiative and integrity.
The value of 19 of the scholarships is $1,500. In addition, the NDB awards a $2,500 James H. Loper Jr. Memorial Scholarship to the outstanding scholarship recipient.
Eligible undergraduate students (sophomore through senior) enrolled in college/university programs that emphasize dairy can apply. Majors include: communications/public relations, journalism, marketing, business, economics, nutrition, food science and agriculture education.
