The College of Agriculture and Natural Resources is grateful for the generosity of alumni, industry partners and friends of the college, for their support of our students through our scholarship programs. Their contributions help ease the financial burdens of attending college for so many AGNR Students like yourself.
As shared in your award letter, in order for you to accept your scholarship, you are first required to complete the Scholarship Acceptance Form. This form includes some background information, information on your current or planned involvement, your future goals, and a personal photo.
After you complete this step, you will be given instructions on completing a digital thank you note for your donor. Once both items are complete, they will be shared with the generous donors who contribute to your scholarship. This is very important as it affirms the value and significance of the donor's contributions and allows them to learn more about the students they are supporting.
