 The
Arias M. Brownback Memorial Scholarship Fund
Arias M. Brownback was raised on his
family’s farm in western Perry County and
from an early age expressed an interest in
farming. He attended his first PASA
conference at the age of 18. Seeing fellow
farmers dedicated to sustainable practices
was a great inspiration to Arias. In his
honor, PASA has established the Arias M.
Brownback Memorial Scholarship Fund. Formed
in 2001, this memorial fund is intended to
inspire and aid young farmers to reach their
full potential. This endowment is designed
to help youth and other developing farmers
attend the Farming for the Future Conference
each year. The scholarship expresses PASA’s
commitment to providing educational
opportunities for those wishing to learn
sustainable agriculture techniques and
methods regardless of financial
circumstances.
Please consider donating to this worthy
cause by going to
Help the Scholarship Fund; your gift will be acknowledged
to the family.
To Apply:
The Arias M. Brownback Memorial Scholarship
is available to young and developing farmers
who demonstrate a financial need to support
continuing education in sustainable
agriculture. We encourage farmers who might
not otherwise be able to attend to apply.
Scholarships will be awarded for up to the
full cost of the two-day Friday/Saturday
registration fees and will include a
one-year PASA membership of the appropriate
level.
Applicants MUST submit a completed
registration form with the scholarship
application so that PASA knows which days
and meals you are planning to attend. You
should not send a payment at this time. PASA
will invoice you once the scholarship amount
has been determined (by January 21st).
Scholarship applications are due by Friday,
January 11th, 2008.
