Stay Safe
This
Spring
For 33 years, the Illinois Farm Bureau® (IFB) Rural Nurse Practitioner Scholarship Program has offered scholarships to support nurse practitioners committed to serving rural communities in Illinois.
Credit Card accepted for Membership Payments
Additionally, IFB realizes the financial barriers that veterinary students face. The IVET Program helps offset the high cost of veterinary education while encouraging the next generation of veterinary professionals to work in Illinois.
As the weather continues to warm up, farmers and their equipment will be out in the fields. They'll also be on the road moving from farm to field. We all need to pay attention on rural roads to stay safe this spring.

Three veterinary students attending any accredited college of veterinary medicine in the U.S. are awarded low interest loans up to $40,000 total, that are payable over five years after graduation.
IVET Loan applications are due May 15. Applicants can apply online at www.ilfb.org/IVET.
This year, 15 scholarships each valued at $4,000, are available.
Interested applicants can obtain application forms at RIMSAP.com. The deadline to apply is May 1.
