college of agriculture scholarships

The College of Agriculture has several scholarships available for prospective students as well as undergraduate students currently enrolled in the college. We award approximately $2.5 million in scholarships each year to the undergraduate students in the college, made possible by the generous support of our Alumni and Friends. The College of Agriculture is well known by and invites applications from students who participated in FFA and 4-H.  We encourage applications from students of all backgrounds and experiences who can demonstrate scholastic excellence, civic or citizenship engagement, and character and leadership development.

Scholarships are awarded using a holistic review of information provided on the scholarship application. Scholarships from the College of Agriculture are competitive. Awards are based on criteria, and student credentials and information presented at the time of application and are nonnegotiable. Purdue does not match offers from other institutions and does not consider requests for aid.
