Annual Mountaire Scholarship
Every year, Mountaire awards dozens of $2,500 scholarships to children and grandchildren of our employees, growers, and grain producers. The value of an education is priceless, but college is expensive. Our program is designed to help Mountaire families achieve their academic goals.
Criteria
Who is eligible to receive these scholarships?
- Children and grandchildren of Mountaire employees
- Children and grandchildren of Mountaire growers and/or breeders
- Children and grandchildren of grain producers that sell a minimum of 10,000 bushels of grain per year to our Prime Quality team
Successful candidates must be enrolled or plan to enroll as a a full-time student (minimum of 12 credits per semester) in the most current school year.
Consideration will be given to the following (in no particular order): applicability of course study to any career in the poultry industry, giving back through community service, extracurricular activity, and academic performance.
The 2026/2027 Mountaire Scholarship program will open for applications in January 2026.
