RNMF Agriculture Scholarships

Are you going into an agriculture related field? 

Are you a senior planning to attend a post-secondary institution next year?



The Responsible Nutrient Management Foundation is pleased to offer scholarships in the amount of $2500; available to students attending an agriculture-related program at a post-secondary educational institution in the United States during the 2014-2015 school year.

This scholarship opportunity is the result of a cooperative commitment between Agro-Culture Liquid Fertilizers, Ag PhD, No-Till Farmer Magazine, Capello USA, PNC Bank, and RFD-TV; and intended to further the education of students who demonstrate the ability to clearly articulate the importance of responsible nutrient management not only for the future of the agricultural industry, but also for our culture as a whole.

Equipping the leaders of tomorrow with an understanding of the delicate balance between high-production agriculture and environmental stewardship will be critical as agriculture strives to more efficiently and sustainably produce food and fiber to feed and clothe the world. The Responsible Nutrient Management Foundation is committed to the future of agriculture and the youth who represent its leadership, and believe this scholarship will help bring bright students closer to their goal of a career in agriculture.

Interested students may access the scholarship application at: http://www.rnmf.org/scholarship/

Deadline for application is May 31, 2014.

ACT Review

Why take an ACT Prep Course?

Know What to Expect

Any exam is difficult if you don't know what to expect. Studying the test format and completing
multiple practice tests will go a long way toward preparing you for exam day.

Refresh Your Memory

The ACT covers years' worth of curriculum and you may have forgotten some key material. Our skill review will refresh your memory for each exam section, focusing on the most frequently tested concepts.

Master Your Nerves

Most people feel anxious when being tested, which can have a negative impact on their score. We'll help you recognize the signs of anxiety and share techniques to manage your nerves.

Affordable

Exams are expensive. Why invest your money to take the ACT and then not prepare for the big day? Our ACT Prep Course is affordable when compared to other options.

To Improve You’re Score!

You could try it alone, but why take the chance? When it comes down to it, you want to improve your score and maximize your chances of getting into the college of your choice. A higher ACT score can open up more options for your future! Even if your test score is high enough to get you admitted to college, a few more points may put you in the running for merit aid, money given out by colleges based on your accomplishments. ACT Prep Courses help you improve your performance on one of the most important tests you'll ever take. You're more likely to get admitted into the college of your dreams if your ACT score is above average. In simple words: scoring well on the ACT tests increases your chances of a better, cheaper education.

What Students and Parents Say About AUM’s ACT Review

"I liked the atmosphere of the program. When I walked in the building everyone was very helpful
in showing me where I was supposed to go. My instructor helped our group with any questions
we had about the material. She also was very excited that we were there and was ready to help
us." -Jerry Howard

"My daughter took the ACT Math Review and thought it was awesome. She said the teacher
went through many questions and explained them." - Anonymous

"Our family is doing a bit of celebrating tonight as Mark was able to raise his ACT score 3 points. He had been hovering at the 27 mark for his last two tries and came in at a whopping 30 on his last. Would you kindly accept my appreciation, and pass along to the others responsible for the class also.” - Bart Lassiter

"My daughter, Abigail, an honor student at Saint James High School was down on herself after taking the ACT. She had one on one tutoring after her fist try which improved her score 2 points. This was not enough for her so we decided to try the AUM  continuing education 3 week ACT Review class. This class helped her so much that her her overall score went up 5 points! Her sub scores improved from 4-7 points each. The program not only helped her improve but gave her the confidence she needed to tackle this test. She now has scholarship money to major universities. We are so glad we encouraged her to try this course! Thanks again!!" - Robin Greenberg
