2022 Native American Agriculture Fund Scholarship Application Form

Native American Agriculture Fund Scholarship Program

The Native American Agriculture Fund (NAAF) is pleased to partner with the National Agriculture in the Classroom Organization to help sponsor teachers to attend the National Agriculture in the Classroom Conference "Empire State Of Agriculture" scheduled for June 28-July 1, 2022 in Saratoga Springs, new York. We strongly believe in the future of agriculture, and we also strongly believe that teachers are a critical link to helping Native students become more familiar with food and agriculture concepts and information. We look forward to receiving your application by the April 28 deadline and connecting with you both during and after the conference.

To be eligible to receive a scholarship sponsored by the Native American Agriculture Fund, you need to either: teach at a Tribal government operated school, a Bureau of Indian Education (BIE) school or a BIE-supported school, a school on a reservation teaching Native students; teach at a non-reservation school that has a high percentage of Native American students; or be a teacher with Tribal affiliation.

Please complete the application form, including the required attachments, by 11;59 p.m. EST on April 28, 2022, to be considered for the scholarship. For assistance, please direct any questions to Jasmine Locklear at jlocklear@nativeamericanagriculturefund.org.
