Delaware Farm Bureau announces 2026 scholarship opportunities

The Delaware Farm Bureau is offering scholarship opportunities for students pursuing higher education in agriculture. These scholarships, ranging from $1,000 to $2,500, are made possible through the efforts of the DEFB Women’s Committee, the Young Farmers & Ranchers Committee and the three county farm bureaus.

Throughout the year, DEFB committees fundraise to support these scholarships. The Women’s Committee designates a portion of the proceeds from its food booth at the Delaware State Fair, while YF&R hosts events such as the Antique Tractor Pull in July.

“We’re grateful for every opportunity to invest in the next generation of agricultural leaders,” said YF&R State Chair Connor Vincent. “Supporting students through these scholarships is one of the ways our committee helps develop the future of agriculture.”

Scholarship applications are available online at defb.org/about-us/scholarships-and-programs/scholarships/ and must be submitted by Friday, May 1.
