In 2005 the North Carolina Pork Council created an educational endowment to provide scholarships for students enrolling in agricultural programs at community colleges and at North Carolina State University in the College of Agriculture and Life Science's two or four year swine production programs.

Two scholarships in the amount of $600 each will be awarded annually. The scholarships will be paid directly to the institution unless there are extenuating circumstances.

Past NCPC scholarship recipients are eligible to re-apply on a yearly basis.

The application deadline is May 1 and all required information, including letters of recommendation and transcripts, must be submitted by this date.

The NCPC internship/scholarship committee, consisting of NC Pork Council members, is responsible for the review of all applications and selection of scholarship recipients.
