Southwest Georgia Farm Credit serves farmers, farm businesses and people who live and work in the small towns and communities in southwest Georgia. Agriculture is a way of life in the region, and for more than 100 years, Farm Credit has played a role in providing a safe, sound, reliable source of credit to rural America.

To help ensure a bright future for rural communities, as well as the agricultural industry, Southwest Georgia Farm Credit presents several scholarship opportunities. The association will be awarding one $2,000 HBCU scholarship for an applicant planning to attend a two- or four-year HBCU on a full-time basis. Farm Credit also offers three $1,000 scholarships, and a $2,000 scholarship to honor the memory of former colleague Duane Watson. Public, private, and home-schooled students are all eligible.
