With its origins dating back to the Great Depression, today’s Wisconsin Rural Opportunities Foundation, Inc., focuses its efforts on education to enable the human spirit to accomplish dreams and goals in the agricultural enterprise and in small rural communities. To date, the Foundation has provided over $5.8 million in support to 5,000 individuals statewide with the hope that they will assume leadership roles in national and international agribusinesses and organizations. The Wisconsin Rural Opportunity Foundation, Inc. offers this scholarship to students from a Wisconsin family farm, who have financial need and who are entering or continuing study in Natural Resources.

Wisconsin State Cranberry Growers Association Scholarship
Improved technology has enabled cranberry growers to employ better management practices, ensuring Wisconsin’s place as a leader in cranberry production. Just as important, growers are also committed to using only those methods that do not harm our environment. Because of this commitment, cranberry growers have helped to preserve our wetlands, providing a natural habitat where plant and animal life flourish. More information is available at www.wiscran.org.
