Scholarships
One of the most tangible and rewarding initiatives of the FarmHouse Foundation is our scholarship program. Each year, scholarships are offered at the International and chapter level and are open to all FarmHouse undergraduate and graduate students to apply.
Scholarships are awarded on the basis of academic achievement, exemplary integrity, ethics, initiative and industry conducive to ongoing leadership, career potential and service to others. An ideal applicant should have a commitment to achieve the level of values that FarmHouse holds dear, in particular those principles of leadership, scholarship and a genuine interest in the success of their brothers. These characteristics embody those who have established these named scholarships and countless other FarmHouse men who continue the tradition today.

EDUCATIONAL LEADERSHIP SCHOLARSHIPS
When it comes to leadership, FarmHouse believes in providing the most development possible for our members. To quote our Statement of Purpose, “whatever contributes to the realization of man’s highest potential, we are for.” It is for this reason we have many educational conferences and leadership retreats to give members opportunities to better themselves. It is because of this commitment FarmHouse Fraternity and the FarmHouse Foundation provides the opportunity to apply for the following scholarships to assist in funding attendance at conferences conducted by other values-based interfraternal organizations. If you are a FarmHouse member and a dedicated leader, consider applying for these scholarships. You would have the chance to represent yourself, your university and our Fraternity while taking advantage of one of the many opportunities available to help build men.
