The National Pork Industry Foundation is accepting applications for the Neil Dierks Scholarship, which honors Neil Dierks, the former longtime CEO of the National Pork Producers Council, and his contributions to the industry. The $5,000 scholarship is awarded annually to a graduate student enrolled in a land-grant university and pursuing a field of study that directly supports the pork industry. “We are honored to continue this scholarship in recognition of Neil’s exceptional legacy,” says Iowa producer Dwight Mogler, a member of the Foundation’s Board. “Neil’s unwavering commitment to mentoring the next generation of pork industry leaders was truly inspiring.” The Foundation is committed to carrying his vision forward by empowering students who are passionate about the future of the industry. Applications are due by December 31, 2024. The winner will be announced at the National Pork Industry Forum March 12-14, 2025. For more information or the application requirements, go to nppc.org.
