Scholarships are available for any Arkansas resident paying in-state tuition with a declared major related to conservation or agriculture. A complete list of approved majors is available at www.agfc.com/en/education/ classroom/conservatio n-scholarship.

Leah Moseley, Scholarship Program coordinator for the AGFC, said scholarships are available for all levels of college students.
