Farmers in the Loup City School District area are encouraged to nominate Loup City Schools to be a recipient of up to $25,000. The America’s Farmers Grow Rural Education program has been introduced to help farmers positively impact their communities and support local schools. This program is sponsored by the Monsanto Fund and gives farmers the opportunity to nominate their local school district to compete for a grant up to $25,000. In all, the program will allow local school districts in 1,245 counties across 39 states to add over $2.3 million to their math and science programs.
Grants will be awarded based on merit, financial need and community support. The more nominations Loup City Schools get, the more likely the school will receive the grant funds.
Farmer Eligibility – Entrants must be 21 years or older and actively engaged in farming of 250 acres of corn and/or soybeans. There can be only one nomination per qualified applicant. No purchase is necessary. Nominations are due by April 15, 2012.
For program guidelines and nomination information you can visit the America’s Farmers Grow Rural Education website at www.GrowRuralEducation.com or contact the Sherman County Economic Development Office at 308-745-5040.
