Mountaire Scholarship Programs
For decades, Mountaire has awarded scholarships to the children of employees, grain producers, and growers, and to deserving students in our communities.
We’re excited to announce that those scholarships are back and bigger than ever! And we’re awarding more scholarships in 2026 than ever before.
We now have two categories: Community and Family. Each scholarship award will be $3,000 and we’ve added a video segment to the application process. To learn more about these scholarship or to apply, read more below.
