The BTI Ag Tech program is a full-ride scholarship that includes tuition, fees, books, campus room and board, and a tool loan that the student will pay back interest free. This is all provided with a 5-year commitment to work for BTI after graduation. The Ag Tech program is a 2-year program that allows students to graduate with an associate degree from a community college that has a John Deere sponsored Ag Tech program. BTI partners with Fort Scott Community College, Garden City Community College, and Southeast Community College in Milford, Nebraska and allows students to select the best fit for them. Students learn not only in a classroom setting, but they take what they have learned and head out to the shop and apply it in a hands-on setting. The program also includes internship opportunities at the student’s BTI location during two scheduled program internships as well as school breaks, such as summers and spring break. During these internships, students learn from experienced Service Technicians and get paid during their internship!
