The scholarship, named after a staunch advocate for migratory students, is intended to assist migratory agricultural or fishing students who are dedicated students with a significant financial need who have moved with their family or on their own for agricultural or fishing employment.
NASDME is delighted to announce that the application materials for the 2026 Al Wright Memorial Migrant Scholarship are now available.
