Scholarship Program

Investing in Your Future.

We believe in investing in the next generation by providing financial assistance to graduating high school seniors attending college or technical school in the upcoming school year. As a cooperative, we believe in the power of not only supporting our communities and the people who live in them but also the value and importance of education. It is our honor to assist students as they plan their futures and work to achieve their goals. Ten recipients will be selected and each awarded a $1,000 scholarship.
