Annual Mountaire Scholarship Program

Annual Mountaire Scholarship

Every year, we award dozens of $2,500 scholarships to children and grandchildren of our employees, growers, and grain producers. At Mountaire, we value education and encourage our teams to pursue and hone their academic talents. Paying for college can be challenging, so we want to assist our people and their families in that endeavor.

The application period for the 2023/2024 academic year is now closed. It will reopen again in January of 2025.

Criteria

*Employee, Grower or Breeder scholarship: one parent/grandparent grows chickens for Mountaire or is employed by Mountaire Farms
*Grain scholarship: one parent/grandparent sells Mountaire a minimum of 10,000 bushels of grain per year
Be enrolled as 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.
