Scholarships Available to SARE's New American Farm Conference

Thanks to the support of sponsors, a limited number of scholarships are now available from the National Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education (SARE) office for the 2008 New American Farm Conference, March 25-27 in Kansas City.

Their priorities are to fund farmers/ranchers and nonprofits, particularly those from under-served/minority audiences and those who are new to SARE and/or sustainable agriculture: emerging leaders, beginning farmers and ranchers, and those who have never attended a SARE regional or national conference. Scholarships will be awarded as free registration (including registration for a tour), plus up to $700 allowance that can be used for specified expenses.

Scholarship applications are due by February 15.
