The applicants' parents, grandparents, or legal guardians must be current or new members of CAWG OR the applicant must be nominated by a current sponsor of CAWG. CO Assn of Wheat Growers Director of Communications Katharine Lotspeich says

Lotspeich: "This is really just an opportunity for Colorado Wheat to put our support towards what we know is the next generation. This is for anyone who is wanting to study agriculture at a higher level — not just wheat not just our interests — but for anyone who is interested agriculture."

She shares where to find the application.

Lotspeich: "Our deadline is March 1, 2017 — it must be post marked by March 1st. If anybody is interested you can go to coloradowheat.org and it is on our main page right now as a news update and also under the Colorado Association of Wheat Growers tab. Then they hit the membership tab right under that, there is a scholarship link. That is information about the scholarship and also a link to the application itself."
