College students and high school seniors looking for help in funding college expenses need to submit an application for a Westchester Foundation scholarship by March 1, 2009. Scholarships are awarded to high school seniors accepted for enrollment or students already enrolled at an accredited college, university or community college in a course of study related to agriculture or agribusiness. The Westchester Foundation was established by Murray Wise, Founder and CEO of the Westchester Group Inc., with a mission to enhance the future of American agriculture by helping to ensure a steady supply of bright, dedicated, well-educated leaders. Students are selected by the Foundation's Board of Directors based on academic qualifications, community and school involvement, leadership potential and financial need. "Last year we had a large pool of very talented students from nearly 30 different states," said Wise. "We try to connect with our recipients each year and it is rewarding to meet such dedicated agricultural students and help ease the financial burdens many students are faced with today as higher education costs continue to skyrocket." Provided the students maintain acceptable grade point averages, the scholarship can be renewed annually for up to four years. While the amount awarded for each scholarship varies by individual and economic need, successful applicants may anticipate a minimum of $1,000 per year to fund any expenses related to attendance at the college of their choice.
