The National Pork Board is accepting applications for its Agricultural Marketing Fellowship.
The application period ends on May 22. Students who are accepted for full-time enrollment in a graduate/professional school program for the 2019-2020 academic year are encouraged to apply.
Up to three students will be selected for fellowships of $20,000 spread across two academic years.
The fellowship requires students to pursue coursework and research in the livestock and meat marketing areas.
“Land-grant universities have provided valuable educational services to pork producers for more than 100 years,” says Steve Meyer, economist for Kerns and Associates.
“I believe making livestock marketing coursework and research more attractive will draw more students to the diminishing field of study.”
