The National Association of Farm Broadcasting (NAFB) Foundation is pleased to announce that it has awarded its 2025 college scholarships, totaling $47,500, to six students studying agriculture communications.
The students will attend and be recognized for their achievements at a special NAFB Foundation Celebration Luncheon on Nov. 19, 2025, during the NAFB Convention in Kansas City.
This investment to cultivate the next generation of farm broadcasters and ag communicators is made possible through the generous support of corporate donations, booster club contributions and funds raised at our annual auction at convention.
Since its inception in 1977, the foundation has funded more than $1 million in agriculture student scholarships and internship grants.
