AAI Provides $100,000 For ISU Scholarships
April 30, 2010 The Agribusiness Association of Iowa (AAI) has donated $100,000 to Iowa State University’s College of Agriculture and Life Sciences for scholarships.
The scholarships will be available to students enrolling at Iowa State and pursuing careers in agriculture. Students will be eligible for the scholarships beginning this fall and funds will be distributed over a five-year period. The AAI Scholarship Program will help recruitment efforts in the college and promote career opportunities in Iowa’s agricultural industries.
"The AAI scholarship program helps our college send a clear message to high school students that there are excellent opportunities in Iowa’s agriculture industries and that our college is the best pathway to these careers," says David Acker, the college’s associate dean for academic and global programs.
The focus of the scholarship program is to provide funds to prepare future leaders. The scholarships are targeted to attract students to agricultural industries and provide employment opportunities with AAI member companies.
"These scholarships are just one way we can support students and our future leaders in agriculture," says Mark Reisinger, AAI corporate executive officer.
