The $1500 award will be given to a graduating Rhinebeck or Red Hook High School senior or the child of one of the Rhinebeck Farmers' Market vendors who will be attending college to major in agriculture, food science, environmental studies or a related field.

In consultation with the schools, a committee of the Rhinebeck Farmers Market Board of Directors will review applications.
