Great Falls - Applications are now open for several Montana Farmers Union scholarships ranging from $500 to $1,000 each.

The annual scholarships are offered through MFU as part of the organization’s commitment to education and include the Bud Daniels Memorial Scholarship, the John Korsbeck Memorial Scholarship, and the Cascade County-wide Farmers Union Local, Chouteau County Farmers Union Local and Flathead County-wide Farmers Union Local scholarships.

“Investing in education to enhance life for the individual and for the benefit of civil society is foundational to the Farmers Union mission and reflects our commitment to cooperative principles,” said Eric Bergman, Cascade County-wide local president.

The scholarships are available to students throughout their collegiate careers. Current college students and high school seniors are encouraged to apply.

Montana Farmers Union members also can apply for the Stanley Moore Scholarship, a $1,500 scholarship offered by the Farmers Union Industries Foundation, and scholarships through National Farmers Union Foundation, ranging from $1,500 to $2,000.
