We are happy to announce the launch of the annual national Syngenta Agricultural Scholarship<http://www.syngenta-us.com/Scholarships/default.aspx?mm=1> program, which is available to U.S. land-grant university students currently pursuing bachelor's or master's degrees in crop-related disciplines. Applicants must be U. S. residents enrolled as of Spring 2016 in an accredited agriculture program. Students can apply by submitting a 750- to 1,000-word essay (topic set forth on the Syngenta Agricultural Scholarship web page<http://www.syngenta-us.com/Scholarships/default.aspx?mm=1>) for a chance to win part of the $20,000 in available awards. Students enrolled at APLU-member land-grant universities are encouraged to apply (a full list of eligible universities can be found on the scholarship website). Applications will be accepted until May 26, 2016.
We would appreciate your assistance in circulating information about this opportunity to students enrolled at APLU member land-grant universities. We have drafted a couple of suggested social media posts, included below, that we invite you to post about the scholarship opportunity.
