Each year the America’s Farmers Grow Rural Education, a Monsanto Fund program, offers farmers the opportunity to nominate rural public school districts to compete for merit-based grants to help programs in the area of math and science.
The America’s Farmers Grow Rural Education program was established in 2011 and awards a total of $2.3 million in grants to schools annually and since 2011 this Monsato Fund program has given over 9 million dollars to rural public school districts.
