SUMMARY:BattleGround to Breaking Ground Tuition Waiver Applications
DESCRIPTION:Applications for a Tuition Waiver for Cohort 19 of the BattleGround to Breaking Ground Condensed Program are open!\n\n\n\nThe BattleGround to Breaking Ground Program (BGBG) is a training program that consists of several Program Tracks developed for active-duty military\, military veterans\, their families\, and the general public who are new / beginning farmers and ranchers to assist them in starting or enhancing a production agriculture business.\n\n\nThe program offers online business planning courses\, hands-on training and mentoring\, and online agriculture production courses for the Skills Training Program\, Traditional Program\, and Condensed Programs. It also has Tracks that offer an introduction to agriculture type workshops through the Introduction to Agriculture Business online course and the in-person Introduction to Production Agriculture Boot Camp.\n\n\n\nThe mission of this program is to increase the number of beginning farmers and ranchers in the U.S. and enhance their enterprise sustainability through an innovative\, holistic model for education\, training\, technical assistance\, and outreach; thus\, reducing self-employment barriers for veterans and others (particularly those with disabilities) to enter and remain in production agriculture.\n\n\n\nOne of the unique and innovative aspects of the project is that it addresses not only the educational needs of beginning farmers and ranchers\, but also offers a professional learning community that provides ongoing beginning farmer business development and ag-specific technical guidance\, access to farm management and production expertise\, and potential linkage to land opportunities.\n\n\n\nDeadline to apply for a Tuition Waiver is December 5\, 2025.\n\nDeadline to pay for Tuition is January 30\, 2026.\n\n\n\nNext applicant webinars:\n\n\n\nLive Applicant Webinar #1\nWednesday October 22\, 2025 at 2pm CST\nhttps://agrilife.zoom.us/…/register/VWP7zR-PRj-APA248RVxxQ\n\n\n\nLive Applicant Webinar # 2\nWednesday November 12\, 2025 at 2pm CST\nhttps://agrilife.zoom.us/…/register/tom9Xb-XRE-OfW7_N3CK8g\n\n\nTo find out more information or to apply\, go here: https://txagrability.tamu.edu/bgbg-condensed-traditional-program/
