Missouri students interested in agriculture have until February 13, 2026, to apply for the Missouri Corn Scholarship. The program, administered by the Missouri Corn Foundation, offers seven $1,000 scholarships to support students pursuing careers in agriculture-related fields.
Applications, including a completed form, official transcript, and at least one recommendation letter, must be submitted online by the deadline.
High school seniors applying must be Missouri residents from a farm or rural community and plan to attend a two- or four-year college with a major in agriculture-related field. Scholarship funds will cover expenses during their freshman year of college.
College students eligible for the scholarship must also be Missouri residents from rural or farming backgrounds and currently enrolled as juniors at a four-year college or university with an agriculture-related major. Awards for these students will apply toward senior-year expenses.
All scholarship recipients are required to assist with a Missouri Corn Foundation event as part of their scholarship obligations. The Missouri Corn Scholarship Committee will review applications, and selected students will be notified by mail on or before April 15, 2026. Full application details and submission instructions are available at www.mocorn.org.
