Farm Journal Media Creates UW-Wisconsin Scholarships
Wisconsin Ag Connection - 11/06/2014

Farm Journal Media announced the creation of a ten-year, $60,000 scholarship program with the Life Science Communications department of the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences at University of Wisconsin-Madison. The effort aims to promote agricultural journalism as a career path for students.

The program began this fall semester at CALS-LSC and offers two scholarship opportunities co-funded by Farm Journal and its CEO, Andy Weber. The first scholarship is an annual $3,000 scholarship called 'The Farm Journal/Andy Weber Discover Ag Media Scholarship' and will be granted to a UW sophomore who expresses interest in pursuing ag journalism through an application process. The second scholarship is an annual $3,000 scholarship called 'The Farm Journal/Andy Weber Explore Ag Media Scholarship' and will be awarded to a UW junior upon completion of a seven-week internship at one of Farm Journal's main content hubs in Missouri, Iowa or or Washington, D.C.

"This is the latest in a number of similar programs with the land-grant universities to promote ag journalism, starting with the 'Farm Journal/Sonja Hillgren Field Reporting Institute,' created eight years ago at the University of Missouri," explained Farm Journal CEO Andy Weber. "Obviously, UW Ag Journalism has been very important to my career, and we want to give back to help young people realize just how rewarding a career in ag media can be."

Farm Journal Media is the parent firm of publications like Farm Journal, Top Producer, Beef Today, Dairy Today and Implement & Tractor.
