Scholarships Available for New Jersey Students

Any New Jersey, full-time student interested in exploring beekeeping can apply for a scholarship to one of the in-person or live virtual NJBA beginner courses offered by the NJBA. (The recorded class is not eligible for a scholarship grant.) The youth must be a New Jersey resident, a full-time student and between the ages of 12 and 22 at the start of the class they wish to attend. (Please note: The beginners courses offered by some branches have a minimum age requirement higher than 12.) The scholarship covers the cost of tuition and any meals; travel to and from class is the responsibility of the student.

Applications must be submitted via the application below at least two weeks before the class start date. Earlier is better, as there are a limited number of scholarships available, and classes fill up quickly.
