TEPAP 2026 Scholarship

The Danny Klinefelter TEPAP Scholarship: Funded by Pinion

The Executive Program for Agricultural Producers

Danny Klinefelter was a recognized educator and pioneer in the ‘business’ of agriculture. As the founder of TEPAP (The Executive Program for Agricultural Producers) in 1991, his vision and beliefs have supported thousands of farmers with intensive business management classes. Klinefelter was an anchor in the TEPAP curriculum – providing an executive level education for farmers to apply best practices to their businesses.

Through the generosity and support of Pinion, the Danny Klinefelter TEPAP Scholarship will enable an outstanding leader in the field to attend TEPAP in 2026.

For each of the two TEPAP Units, Pinion awards an inspired applicant full tuition to the TEPAP Program Unit they are attending. Submissions are due by October 31.
