Ag Foundation
The Sacramento Farm Bureau Foundation for Agricultural Education was established in July 2000.
Its primary purpose is to provide scholastic financial awards to high school and college students continuing their education at
the university level. We have two scholarship programs. The first is for students majoring in agricultural related areas such as
animal science, bio-technology, veterinary medicine, Ag business, and aquaculture. The second program gives scholarships to children of agricultural employees
studying in any area.
