“First, I would like to congratulate the winners of this year’s NIOP Scholarships. Keep up the great work.
I would also like to commend the rest of the applicants. While there must have been some disappointment, you should all hold your heads high as this year saw a record number of applicants for the scholarships, of which we only have 4 to award. Better, the quality & character of this year’s applicants was truly off-the-charts. It was truly an impossible task to choose only 4 from the group.
A bright future awaits all of you, I am sure ” - Dave Reeble (Moving Parts LLC)
“Every year it is my honor to review the NIOP Scholarship Applications. My dad would be so happy to know this wonderful scholarship is honoring the hard work and dedication put forth by these young adults following their passion.”

I’d strongly recommend this course to anyone in the oilseed value chain or adjacent roles. It provides a solid foundation in oilseed market dynamics, chemistry, risk management, and biofuel policy regardless of experience level. It's especially valuable for those new to the industry or transitioning into agri-business roles.
The agenda is well-balanced and provides knowledge that, even if it does not pertain directly to your company or roles/responsibilities, allows you to become wellrounded and understand the complete supply chain. The instructors have incredible knowledge, experience, and passion to impart on the attendees that makes the industry stronger as a whole.
Oils University is a two-day, members-only intensive class that combines expertled sessions with real-world mentorship from seasoned NIOP professionals With just 25 participants, the program offers personalized learning and valuable networking, including a dedicated dinner event. Registration for Oils University 2025 is now open space is limited!
