Details have been finalized and registration is now officially underway for the 2009 Southern Peanut Growers Conference July 12-14 at the Edgewater Beach Resort in Panama City Beach, Florida. There will be plenty of time for rest and relaxation on the beautiful Emerald Coast, but the meeting does have its serious side as well.

Scholarship Applications Due July 1, 2009
The Florida Peanut Producers Association recently set July 1 as the deadline to apply for the 2009 Scholarship Award Program. Two $1,200 scholarships will be awarded to deserving high school seniors and/or college students.

The applicant or someone in the applicant’s family must be an actively producing peanut grower, not necessarily a member of the FPPA. It is the intent of the Scholarship Award Committee, however, that the award recipients attend a Florida junior college or four-year university.

Each winner will receive $600 when the scholarship winners are announced. The remaining $600 will be awarded after the completion of one semester and documentation of passing grades is submitted to the FPPA Office.

“ The Florida Peanut Producers Association is committed to helping further the education of young people in Florida and the scholarship program is evidence our our committment,” says Ken Barton, executive director of the FPPA. “ The FPPA welcomes all applicants. The final selection will be made by the committee and all applicants will be notified by mail, as will the scholarship winners.”

For an application contact the FPPA office at 2741 Penn Avenue, Suite 1, Marianna, FL 32448 or call (850) 526-2590.
