Industry Scholarships

The AJSA is dedicated to providing its members with every opportunity to succeed. In doing so we would like to make all members aware of the various industry awards offered to agriculturally minded youth all around the country. Below is a list of scholarships eligible to incoming and current college students. For a more in depth list of Ag scholarships read through the FFA scholarship guidebook. There you will find available scholarships sponsored by several agribusinesses for FFA members and non-members alike.
