Longmont Conservation District

The Longmont Conservation District offers a $2,000 scholarship to at least two Longmont area high school seniors pursing a degree in an agriculture-related field.

The scholarships will be paid over two years at $1,000 per year directly to the educational institution. Applicants who will be attending schools within the state of Colorado will be considered first, followed by applicants who will be attending out of state colleges. Preference will be given to high school seniors. A college student continuing their education in an agriculture-related field may apply.

The Board of Supervisors of the Longmont Conservation District will review the applications and award the scholarship at their April business meeting.
