    SCHOLARSHIP FUND

    NAFDMA SCHOLARSHIP FUND: The purpose of the fund is to provide assistance to those who would benefit from attendance at a NAFDMA event. It is not limited to current members, but to take advantage of the scholarship, the recipient must become a member of NAFDMA before applying for scholarship funding. A scholarship will cover 50% of the event registration fee.


    Priority for awards will be given to existing members or those who have been referred to the scholarship program by a member or service provider. The referral will be noted through a question on the application asking how the applicant knew to apply. The initial deadline to apply for use of funds will be two weeks prior to the Early Bird Registration deadline of the event. Applications can be accepted after that time, but initial applications will have priority.

    Are you an undergraduate college student who is interested in attending our convention? NAFDMA has scholarship funds to assist. Once approved, NAFDMA will cover 100% of the registration fees for your attendance. All travel and lodging will be at the expense of the individual. Use the application button below to describe your interest in agritourism and how you anticipate using your degree to benefit the agritourism industry. The initial deadline to apply for use of funds will be two weeks prior to the Early Bird registration of the event.

    

    College Student Scholarship

     Farm to Farm Staff Exchange Scholarship

    NAFDMA values connections and life-long relationships which can guide a farm on its agritourism journey.  To that end, the NAFDMA scholarship fund supports staff/internship exchanges between member farms both conceptually and financially.  The individual who experiences the new environment of the farm and the farm who accepts a staff person from another farm both have valuable take-aways from the experience. 

    

    ·       The individual is able to experience operations and develop ideas from their extended time on the host farm.

    ·       The individual experiences a variety of management styles.

    ·       The host farm has a short-term employee who understands the farm experience.

    ·       The host farm is able to consider new business case ideas.

    ·       Both entities have a transfer of good ideas and the foundation for starting or continuing a relationship.
