About this scholarship
Truck drivers are critical for transporting farm commodities, inputs, and food throughout our state and nation. Without truck drivers, the entire supply chain weakens. The Driving Agriculture Forward Scholarship Program, funded by the Illinois Farm Bureau, offsets the cost of required commercial truck driver training and ensures more well-trained, safe drivers are available to drive agriculture forward. The IAA Foundation, in partnership with the Illinois Farm Bureau, is pleased to offer awards to individuals enrolled in an Illinois Community College Truck Driver Training program. Proof of enrollment must be provided when a recipient enrolls to receive the award. An endorsement signed by a farmer, County Farm Bureau leader, agribusiness, or food processing business is required. Awards are made based on the Illinois Farm Bureau region where the applicant resides. Quarterly, one scholarship is awarded to each region and one at-large scholarship is awarded based on a lottery selection from the applicants who did not receive the scholarship for their region. Please visit the scholarship's website for more information.
