Co-Alliance Cooperative, Inc. has announced the 40 recipients of its $1,000 Scholarship program. The scholarships were awarded to high school seniors planning to study agriculture in college and be involved in agriculture in their local community. The winners were selected through the legacy Co-Alliance Solutions Scholarship program and the legacy Harvest Land Co-Op Agricultural Scholarship program.
This is the 14th consecutive year the company has made such a contribution to the youth in its trade territory. CEO Kevin Still notes the importance of investing in the local community and rural youth, stating “These students show tremendous potential. We anticipate a very bright future for these young people and as an organization with cooperative roots it is our duty to support the next generation of agriculture.”
