The Indiana Soybean Alliance (ISA) and Indiana Corn Marketing Council (ICMC) checkoff programs will offer partial tuition scholarships for full time Indiana soybean and corn producers who are accepted to participate in the Indiana Agricultural Leadership Program (ALP).
ISA and ICMC will contribute up to $1,000 per full-time corn and soybean farmer accepted into the program.
The Agricultural Leadership Program is designed to guide Indiana’s promising leaders to new levels of leadership skill and to a heightened awareness and understanding of the issues facing our industry.
ALP is administered by AgrIInstitute, Inc. Founded in 1983, this organization has conducted 20 classes of this program, providing the opportunity for more than 550 individuals to enhance their capacity for strong service in agricultural and communities throughout Indiana, the United States and abroad.
The Agricultural Leadership Program features 12 study seminars devised to widen understanding in vital areas of civic engagement and leadership. Participants broaden their knowledge in a wide range of economic, social, political and cultural matters as well as expand their leadership skills. Ten of the seminars are three days in length and in locations throughout Indiana. In addition, the participants study one week in Washington, D.C., and two weeks in a foreign country.
