Nominations are being accepted until September 15 for the 2025 Gateway to Ag Careers Program.
The Gateway to Ag Careers Program, Hosted by AgGateway and sponsored by the AgCIO Roundtable, offers an opportunity for selected students to attend the AgGateway Annual Meeting and Conference this fall to network with agriculture industry professionals, take in high-value learning sessions, and get a deeper understanding of the career opportunities available in high-tech agriculture.
The AgGateway Annual Meeting and Conference will be held November 3-5, 2025 at the Wyndham Grand Hotel in Clearwater Beach, FL. The Gateway to Ag Careers program will award each selected student with roundtrip airfare, accommodations at the conference hotel, and conference registration fees. Successful nominees are high achieving, mature students who are working toward a career in agriculture.
Faculty, academic and/or professional advisors are asked to submit nominations via email using this form. A completed nomination form must be submitted along with an endorsement paragraph written by the advisor and a brief one-page essay written by the student. The deadline for nominations is September 15.
Award letters will be issued by the first week of October, and students must then verify acceptance of the award.
In 2024, ten individuals were selected from seven different educational institutions. To view the list of 2024 recipients, click here.
