Youth

MFA Foundation

At MFA, we support youth in agriculture. We know that today's young people are tomorrow's leaders. And we put our money where our mouth is.

Every spring approximately 300 graduating high school seniors receive MFA scholarships, co-sponsored by the MFA Foundation and participating local MFA agencies. We've done this for more than 50 years to the tune of more than 10,000 scholarships and $10 million.

MFA Foundation scholarships are offered at high school seniors who are children or grandchildren of member-level customers of MFA Agri Services, MFA Oil Company propane plants and bulk plants and other MFA agencies. Students can apply at www.mfafoundation.com

While the college scholarship program constitutes the main thrust of the MFA Foundation, the Foundation also pursues other worthwhile projects. The MFA Foundation makes gifts directly and generally, in an unrestricted manner, to private colleges.

The Foundation also contributes to other programs that are consistent with the Foundation's original purpose of providing educational opportunity for youth. Included in these programs are: Missouri 4-H Foundation, Missouri FFA Association and the Missouri Young Farmers Association.

In addition, the MFA Foundation administers special scholarship programs and has also made substantial contributions to the University of Missouri College of Agricultue, Food and Natural Resources.
