2025 Scholarship Program opens earlier this year!

COLUMBUS, OHIO—United Producers, Inc. (UPI), a leading livestock marketing cooperative, is proud to announce its annual scholarship program for 2025. UPI will award up to ten scholarships, each valued at $1,500, to graduating high school seniors planning to pursue higher education at a college or technical school.

This year, the application window is opening earlier than in the past, so eligible students are encouraged to start preparing their materials now to meet the March 1, 2025 deadline.

The program aims to support and encourage students connected to the agricultural community. Applicants must meet the following criteria:

      • Applicants must be a member, or a child/grandchild, of a UPI member. To be considered a member, the member must market at least one head of livestock at UPI per year. Membership is based on UPI’s 2024 records.

      • Applicants can also be nominated by a member if they are not a child/ grandchild of a member as long as the nominee works for the member on their farm or in their agricultural operation.

      • Applicants must be a 2025 high school graduate planning to attend college or technical school.

      • Applicants must submit an application and essay summarizing their college and career goals. 

Children and grandchildren of full-time UPI employees or the Board of Directors are not eligible for this award.
