Why Apply for the Iowa Corn Collegiate Advisory Team? 

The future of Iowa Corn depends on the organization’s ability to offer relevant programming, advocacy and services to new stakeholders entering Iowa’s agricultural sector who will be potential supporters and leaders of Iowa Corn.  These stakeholders include students who are pursuing careers in Iowa’s agriculture industry, and we want your help! Join the Collegiate Advisory Team to meet college students from all over Iowa, participate in training and learn more about Iowa’s corn industry.

Who Can Apply? 

Any post-secondary student who has completed high school and is attending an Iowa college or university to pursue a career in agriculture.

Up to 20 students are selected. Getting representation from all Iowa universities and colleges is a priority. Typically, one (sometimes 2) student is selected from each school. Iowa State can be represented by up to six students. We encourage students to apply again if they did not get in their first year applying.
