Scholarship Overview
The mission of the Northeast Agribusiness and Feed Alliance (NEAFA) is to speak with a
collective voice and advocate for our members, animal agriculture and other stakeholders in
New York and the six New England states. To support the education of future agriculturists,
the NEAFA will be awarding four $500 scholarships to eligible high school seniors planning
to pursue a field of study that will lead to a career in agriculture, with a specific emphasis on
animal science, agronomy, agriculture education or agribusiness. The future of agriculture is
dependent on our youth, as they will be tasked with some of the most difficult and most
challenging issues facing the agriculture community. This scholarship compliments the
