Ag Student of the Month & MARSHA MARTIN Scholarship Programs

MARSHA MARTIN Scholarships:
Texas Farm Credit will present $2,000 postsecondary scholarships to six future ag leaders. Winners will be announced in May. In addition, each of the six Marsha Martin scholarship winners will also have a $500 contribution made in their honor to their FFA or 4-H club.
The annual scholarship program is named in honor of Paris, Texas, native Marsha Pyle Martin, a strong advocate for youths and agriculture who passed away in 2000 following a 30-year career in Farm Credit. At the time, she was board chairman and chief executive officer of the Farm Credit Administration.
Since 2000, Texas Farm Credit has awarded more than $158,000 in scholarships in Martin’s name.
T EXAS FARM CREDIT SERVICES has a mission to support agriculture and rural communities today and tomorrow. Our customer-owned cooperative proudly offers two programs that recognize high school seniors who excel in the classroom and in their FFA chapters and 4-H clubs.
Ag Student of the Month:
Each of Texas Farm Credit’s 18 branches will recognize two outstanding students per month in March and April 2021. Winners will receive $100 Visa gift cards and will advance to the selection process for the Marsha Martin Scholarship program.
Two great programs, one convenient application! Students can use the form included with this packet to apply for both Ag Student of the Month and a Marsha Martin Scholarship.
