The American
Feed Industry Association's Equipment Manufacturers Committee has selected two
new universities as recipients of its EMC scholarship fund. The
universities-North Carolina State University and North Dakota State
University-will receive $2,500 each to support students who have chosen
educational pathways in the feed and grain industries.
EMC also
partnered with AFIA's foundation, the Institute for Feed Education &
Research, this year to offer a joint scholarship of equal value. The
EMC-IFEEDER scholarship recipient is California Polytechnic State University.

"The
first EMC scholarship partnership began with Kansas State University in
1990," said Keith Epperson, AFIA's vice president of manufacturing and
training. "While KSU is still a current recipient of the scholarship, we
decided to expand this impactful program due to the growing need for a younger
generation in the agricultural workforce."
All
EMC-related scholarships are for five-year commitments. Applicants are required
to provide information about their academic degree programs pertaining to feed
or grain sciences or other industry-related programs. They are also required to
maintain a cooperative and active working relationship with AFIA, and a
willingness to periodically report to EM
C about the direction of their academic
program(s) and distribution of the scholarship awards.
"AFIA
proudly supports the education of future agricultural leaders within the feed
industry and beyond through the available scholarship programs. We look forward
to working with the newly selected universities, as well as continuing to
foster our relationship with KSU, as we encourage additional students to seek
careers in the feed industry," said Epperson.
