The program also is open to high school seniors on the Delmarva Peninsula who have been accepted at any accredited, degree-granting institution and who are pursuing a career path leading to employment in any segment of Delmarva's chicken community.

A complete transcript must accompany the application, and in the case of high school seniors, proof of college acceptance is required.
