This is an awesome scholarship. If you are from a farming family, but not the highest test scores/rank/gpa, you still have a good shot. Also, if you are a good student, but don't think you will qualify for financial aid, you may as they are more flexible with what they consider need. You won't know unless you apply!
I'd like to see a lot of our seniors in the applicant pool this year. I think in the past, there has been money that could have come to our county students, but no one applied.
