year. To fill out the application, click here.
Three $1000 WCFA Agent of Change Scholarships are offered to
students who have attended at least one Women Changing the Face of
Agriculture Conference, either at a past WCFA event or anyone
completing and attaching a 2021 WCFA worksheet. One scholarship is
for a high school senior, one for a current college student, and one
for a current graduate student.
The application can be

“Being a part of WCFA as a student and volunteer has allowed me to
make connections I value tremendously. Along with receiving a
scholarship, I am grateful to be a part of this industry surrounded
by successful women who continue to support each other in all
endeavors,” said Callie McClay, a 2020 scholarship recipient.

Previous scholarship winner Kylie Miller said, “Illinois Agri-Women
events and scholarships set women up for success not only financially, but by
creating a community of women who empower one another within the agriculture
industry.”
