More than
$2 Million
Awarded

Since 1989, UnitedAg has been awarding scholarships to its members to provide financial assistance, business skills and leadership development to advance the educational goals of members, their employees and their employees’ dependents (children and grandchildren). In 2000, the Agribusiness Education Foundation (AEF), a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, was developed and has since awarded over $2 million in grants to over 1,200 students seeking educational, post-secondary and vocational funding.

Changing Lives Through Education

UnitedAg’s generous support for education has made college more accessible for many students including myself, helping build a stronger future for agriculture in America.
