DFA Cares Foundation Scholarship

At DFA, we believe it is important to invest in the next generation of leaders to ensure a bright future for the dairy industry. That’s why we established the DFA Cares Foundation Scholarship Program.

We need accountants, scientists, engineers, computer technicians, market analysts, writers and so many more professionals to ensure families down the road and around the world are nourished with the goodness of dairy.

Since its inception 15 years ago, the DFA Cares Foundation Scholarship Program has grown to honor an increasing number of outstanding students who have an interest in the food and agriculture industries. In 2024, DFA Cares awarded $83,000 to 64 students, helping pre-college, undergraduate and graduate students continue their education.
