## About this scholarship

The J. Carl Mattson Scholarship Fund, administered by the Idaho Community Foundation, supports graduating seniors from Firth High School. To qualify, applicants must have completed at least six trimesters of Vocational Agriculture and been active participants in the Future Farmers of America. Notably, eligible students do not need to pursue a college degree in agriculture to receive this funding. 

The scholarship helps cover educational expenses for students transitioning to higher education. To apply, students must submit their application materials directly through the foundation's online portal by the March 15 deadline. While this specific program is merit- and activity-based rather than strictly need-based, applicants are generally encouraged to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Filing the FAFSA helps the foundation and colleges coordinate financial aid packages and ensures students are considered for any additional state or federal assistance they may need to fund their postsecondary education.
