The Iowa Agriculture Literacy Foundation and the Iowa Pork Producers Association have announced a second year of a scholarship program to encourage more middle school and high school students to get involved in swine and pork science research. Iowa students who complete and conduct a science experiment that is related to pigs, pork, pig production, swine care or a related subject area will be eligible to receive a $200 scholarship. The scholarship can assist students in the development of a project and be used to purchase supplies for their experiments or for the presentation of the project. The funds can also be used to help fund travel to any of the four science fairs and symposiums hosted in Iowa next year. For more information about this activity or other education activities, email the Iowa Agriculture Literacy Foundation at info@iowaagliteracy.org. Students can apply for the scholarship and begin their science research at the foundation’s project application page.
