Agricultural Professional Development Scholarship Fund For Historically Underserved Illinois Farmers (BIPOC, LGBTQIA+)

Please apply as soon as possible!

Note the following information:

• Funding is specifically for registration, travel, and lodging expenses associated with a professional development opportunity.
• Farmers must be located in Illinois, but the professional development opportunity can be outside of Illinois.
• This opportunity is specifically for historically disadvantaged farmers (BIPOC, LGBTQ+).
• Proof of conference registration is required.
• Scholarship funds are available on a first come, first served basis until the $15,000 is spent.
• All applicants will be notified about your potential awards ASAP.

*Scholarship checks will be mailed upon receipt of proof of conference registration. We do not need proof of travel and lodging costs. If prepaying for a conference is a barrier, please indicate this on the application and someone from The Land Connection will contact you to assist in this process.
