YQCA is excited to announce the 2025 Scholarship Program available to high school seniors and students enrolled in a 2-4 year university or certification program. In order to be considered for this scholarship, youth must be a high school senior up to 21 years of age.

In order to be considered for this scholarship, applicants must:

  • Have an active YQCA certification at the time of application (2025).

As a high school senior, the essay question regarding future plans to enter the agriculture industry or commitment to a university will be considered for eligibility. Scholarship recipients must provide proof of enrollment to receive the award.

High school graduates must be currently enrolled in a 2-4 year university agriculture program or enrolled in a certification program to meet the scholarship requirements. If selected, scholarship funds will be sent directly to the school.
