BRAND NEW:

1. Starting in 2026, the 16th Annual AGCRA Scholarship Program will award one $5,000, two $2,500, and three $1,000 individual scholarships for 2026.  These scholarship dollar amounts will be distributed to winning candidates only if they meet the scoring criteria of this year's AGCRA Scholarship Board per the Program MOI.  The AGCRA Scholarship Program will also revalidate six $1,000 second-year scholarships from the 2025 Program.
2. NEW COLUMBIA SOUTHERN UNIVERSITY MONJE-MURPHY SCHOLARSHIP.  AGCRA is proud to introduce the CSU Monje-Murphy Scholarship, established through a partnership between AGCRA and Columbia Southern University (CSU).  This scholarship provides an incredible opportunity for AGCRA members and their authorized dependents or grandchildren who have been accepted to attend CSU. One deserving recipient will be awarded a 60-credit scholarship to support their academic journey.  This scholarship is named in honor of COL (Ret) Larry (Nick) Monje and COL (Ret) Robert (Bob) T. Murphy, whose dedication and contributions have been instrumental in the success of the AGCRA Scholarship Program.

The application opportunity for both 2026 Scholarship Programs opened on 9 March 2026.  Scholarship applications must be received by 30 May 2026.
