Scholarship Sponsored by Michigan Farm Bureau

Value: $1,000
Awards Available: 3

Established in the late 1960s to honor Marge Karker, a former coordinator of the Michigan Farm Bureau Women's Programs and 37-year employee of Michigan Farm Bureau, this scholarship awards three $1,000 gifts to students attending Michigan State University and enrolled in 
an agriculture program.

Marge Karker led Farm Bureau members in activities involving citizenship, health, education, legislation, public relations, safety and community betterment projects over a time period between 1944 and 1964. Through her work with these programs, Karker helped to lay the foundation for the Promotion and Education and Young Farmer programming we have today.

  5. The applicant should have a minimum scholastic average, as indicated by Michigan State University Registrar's Office, of a 2.6 on a 4.0 scale. Please submit an official transcript from MSU.
  6. The scholarship is a gift, not a loan.
