CCOF Future Organic Farmer Grant Opportunity

Another opportunity for funding-- deadline fast approaching!

Students interested in studying organic agriculture in an undergraduate or vocational training program, apply for one of CCOF's 20 - $2,500 Higher/Vocational Education grants! Last year's grants supported students involved in programs like Washington State University's major in Organic Agricultural Systems and the Michigan State Organic Farmer Training Program, but can also support those interested in UC Santa Cruz's Center for Agroecology and Sustainable Food Systems (CASFS) program for the 2015-2016 school years.

The Future Organic Farmer Grant Fund makes grants to students attending a program that fits into one of three categories:

• Vocational training/certificate programs: Six-week to two-year technical hands-on training/apprenticeship programs focused on agricultural production.
• Junior college/two-year degrees: Colleges offering courses for two years beyond high school, either as a complete training or in preparation for completion at a four-year college.
• Bachelor’s/four-year undergraduate degrees: Degree programs at a college or university in undergraduate studies. This grant program is not open to graduate students.

Please consider applying!

Application deadline is May 15, 2015.
