$20K in student scholarships offered by Purina Animal Nutrition

Purina Animal Nutrition, along with the Land O’Lakes Foundation, has reopened its annual scholarship program designed to assist students with experience in livestock production and animal stewardship in pursuing their passions and furthering their education.

Undergraduate students and current high school seniors who have experience raising and caring for small or large livestock, equine and/or poultry are eligible to apply for a $5,000 scholarship. Four students will be awarded based on applications that illustrate the impact animal agriculture has had on their lives, along with details on academic achievements, leadership skills, community involvement, and a clear vision for their future.

Scholarship applications will be accepted now through April 17, and awardees will be notified in June. Funds will be distributed for the fall 2025 semester at their current or anticipated educational institution.

The scholarship is open to all high school seniors who plan to enroll in full-time undergraduate study at an accredited two- or four-year college, university, or vocational-technical school for the entire upcoming academic semester/term and undergraduate students enrolled in an accredited two- or four-year college, university or vocational-technical school.

A current, complete transcript of grades must be uploaded, as grade reports are not accepted. The transcript must include the student’s name, school name, grades, and credit hours for each course and term in which the course was taken. If SAT or ACT scores are provided and are not listed on the high school transcript, a separate copy of the test score report must be uploaded; however, SAT or ACT scores are not required for college transcripts.

Additionally, one online recommendation form must be submitted no later than April 22, 2025, at 3:00 p.m. Central Time. The application will not be considered complete until all required materials are submitted electronically.
