Any institution of higher education in the United States that offers an identifiable poultry program or can show plausible ways of connecting students with the poultry industry is eligible to apply for a recruitment grant of up to $7,000. If your school offers a poultry science minor, you may be eligible for up to $3,000 in additional funding, pending Board approval.

A committee of university professionals will review funding requests and make recommendations to the Foundation Board of Directors. The number of proposals accepted each year varies depending on need.
