The Vancouver Farmers Market plans to offer $5,000 in scholarship funding to post-secondary students for the September 2012–June 2013 academic year. This funding is intended to support the education of students wishing to specialize in agriculture, agricultural marketing, and related topics and to encourage small-scale farming in the Pacific Northwest and the sale of farm products.

Applications will be accepted until 5 p.m., Saturday, June 30, 2012. The application form is available on the Market’s website at www.vancouverfarmersmarket.com/scholarship.php. Applicants must include a copy of their most recent high school or college transcript with their application.

The mission of the Vancouver Farmers Market is to offer diverse fresh and local agricultural products, quality prepared foods, and original created products in downtown Vancouver in an environment where the community can gather, grow, and share.
