Scholarship Program

Farm Bureau Gives Back

Virginia Farm Bureau invests in the youth of the communities we serve. We understand the importance of encouraging an interest in agriculture and taking leadership roles among our growing population. That's why many of our county Farm Bureaus offer scholarships to students and individuals interested in furthering their education or skills in agriculture. And, when Virginia Farm Bureau took ownership of the State Fair of Virginia in 2013, the program began awarding even more scholarships to support youth education.
