Farm Credit of Western New York: About: Community Support



	Investing in Western New York's Future Scholarship Program Background Western New York will award three $2,000 scholarships ($1,000 for two semesters) . Payment will be made directly to students at the beginning of the first and second semesters at $1,000 for each semester. Scholarships can be used to defray the cost of tuition, room and board, books, and other academic charges. Applicants are eligible to be awarded this scholarship only once in their education career.
