Applications for grants from the U.S. Poultry & Egg Harold E. Ford Foundation are now available. The Foundation’s Poultry Science Education Fund supports student recruitment for poultry and science courses at colleges and universities that do not offer a poultry science degree.
Any institution of higher education in the United States that offers an identifiable poultry science program is eligible to apply for a recruitment grant of up to $7,000.
A committee of poultry science school professionals will evaluate funding requests and make recommendations to the board of directors of the U.S. Poultry & Egg Harold E. Ford Foundation. The number of proposals accepted each year varies depending on need and how the funds are intended to be used. Institutions may apply for a grant by completing the form available at: http://www.poultryegg.org/StudentOutreach/docs/psef_app.pdf. Please forward nine copies to U.S. Poultry & Egg Harold E. Ford Foundation before Aug. 1.
