Wisconsin Rural Opportunities Foundation Board Scholars Award

This scholarship was established by the Wisconsin Rural Opportunities Foundation. In 1934, the Federal Emergency Relief Administration established the Wisconsin Rural Rehabilitation Corporation to purchase FHA guaranteed farm loans to stimulate the agricultural economy following the Great Depression. During the decades that followed, the Wisconsin Rural Rehabilitation Corporation evolved into today’s vibrant Foundation supporting educational opportunities for rural Wisconsin citizens at a vast variety of educational institutions throughout the State of Wisconsin. Today, the Wisconsin Rural Opportunities Foundation, Inc. keeps abreast of the most pressing needs of rural Wisconsin through its network of former award recipients, educational institution partners and agricultural business and organization leaders. Each year, the Board of Directors determines the numbers and amounts of awards to be presented to each institution and program to best serve the needs of rural Wisconsin.

FAFSA required prior to awarding decisions.
