The Leonard C. Zimmerly Memorial Scholarship honors Leonard Zimmerly, a teacher, farmer, and proud member of Tazewell CFB who influenced many students in school and career choices. Applicants must be an Illinois Farm Bureau member, spouse or child of a member. They must be majoring in agriculture, agribusiness, or a closely related field at a four-year institution. Preference will be given to students attending the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and students from Tazewell County. The IAA Foundation enhances the future of agriculture by offering college scholarships to Illinois farm families, Illinois Farm Bureau members, spouses, and their children who major in agriculture-related courses of study. The IAA Foundation is pleased to administer scholarships on behalf of families and agriculture partners who wish to support students and help assure a well-qualified, professional agricultural workforce in Illinois. Applicants may be previous recipients of an IAA Foundation scholarship. In addition to individual scholarship eligibility guidelines, selection of recipients is based on activities and involvement, financial plan, essay response, personal statements and in some cases, academic performance.
