Applications Open for the Swine Legacy Scholarship

The National Pork Industry Foundation announced the establishment of the U.S. Pork Center of Excellence Swine Legacy Scholarship. For 20 years, the USPCE was a vital public-private partnership designed to strengthen the U.S. pork sector. While that organization ended this year, the National Pork Industry Foundation received the Center’s remaining financial assets. In honor of the Center’s legacy, the Foundation created the USPCE Swine Legacy Scholarship. It will award three $5,000 scholarships annually, two to undergraduate students and one to a graduate or professional track student. The first scholarships will be awarded in 2026, and the program will likely run for the next 40 years. The application period is now open and continues through Monday, December 1. Applications will be accepted from third or fourth-year undergraduate students and from current or accepted graduate students. For full eligibility requirements and to apply, go to the 2026 USPCE Swine Legacy Scholarship page.
