National Society Descendants of American Farmers

The American Farmer – 1776-1914 – has played a huge role in the success of America.  NSDOAF honors each ancestor for their unlimited contributions in making our country the breadbasket of the world.

​

The National Society Descendants of American Farmers Agricultural Scholarship is available to college students pursuing an undergraduate or graduate level agriculture related degree. Scholarship awards may be as high as $5000 and may require a virtual interview.  If selected as a recipient, our scholarship awards are mailed directly to your academic institution to be placed in your student financial account.  Our awards are restricted and can only be used for expenses such as tuition and fees, room and board, and other expenses as allowed by your institution.  Award checks are never mailed directly to the scholarship recipient.  Unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate gap years or special requests to delay the awarding of a scholarship.  In addition, a recipient must be enrolled as a student at their academic institution for the scholarship to be issued.
