Scholarships & Grants

Financial support for veteran farmers who are ready to grow.

Grants and scholarships are made possible by the generosity of our partner organizations: Stand For The Troops, Farmer Veterans Coalition, and Mandrake.

How It Works

We know that the cost of agricultural education can be a barrier. Through our scholarship and grant program, qualified veterans can receive partial or full tuition support for the AiSA Farm Program (tuition: $6,458.00). Scholarships are funded by Stand For The Troops and the Farmer Veterans Coalition. Mandrake supports our mission through general program investment.

To apply, complete the scholarship application below. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis. Decisions are typically communicated within 2–3 weeks of submission.

Note: SkillBridge is a participation pathway, not a funding source. SkillBridge participants are still responsible for tuition through GI Bill, Military Tuition Assistance, an SFTT or FVC grant, or self-pay.
