2010 Pork Industry Scholarships
All juniors and seniors in college who plan to pursue a career in swine production management or a related field, or will be seeking to attend graduate school and major in a discipline with an emphasis on swine, are invited to submit an application for one of 19 available scholarships sponsored by the Pork Checkoff, PIC and Pioneer.

Application guidelines should be followed and may be submitted online by using this form. The deadline is early February. Recipients will be notified in April.

"This is an extremely important part of what we do on behalf of America's pork producers, " says Mark Knauer, Animal Science Director for the Pork Checkoff. "Encouraging young people to continue their education in swine-related fields helps to ensure we have a steady pipeline of experts in areas critical to the industry's future success."

Any specific questions should be directed to Chris Hostetler at CHostetler@pork.org or 515-223-2606.
