To qualify to win a National Rice Month scholarship, students must conduct a promotion activity in their local community during September with U.S.-grown rice as the central theme. Entries must provide details of the promotion and should be submitted by Oct. 14.

Three scholarship prizes totaling $8,500 are available. The grand prize is a $4,000 scholarship and a trip to the 2011 USA Rice Outlook Conference in Austin, Texas, for the scholarship presentation. The second-place winner will receive $3,000 and third-place, $1,500.
