The National Rice Month Scholarship Contest is an annual scholarship program sponsored by the USA Rice Federation. The scholarship is awarded to high school seniors in the United States who submit an original recipe featuring U.S.-grown rice. The scholarship award amount varies from year to year, but it is typically several thousand dollars. Multiple scholarships are awarded, with the exact number and amount depending on the total number of applicants and the funds available.
The application process for the National Rice Month Scholarship Contest typically opens in the summer of each year, and interested students should check the USA Rice Federation’s website for specific application requirements and deadlines.
